The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pigeonnier dépendant du château de Fondelin, de plan carré, probablement construit pour remplacer le pigeonnier primitif de plan hexagonal dont il ne reste que les piliers. Le rez-de-chaussée sert d'abri au bétail, et s'ouvrait à l'extérieur par quatre baies identiques à arc plein cintre. Trois des baies ont été murées. Le pigeonnier se trouvait à l'étage, et l'accès se faisait par une échelle engagée dans une trappe. Les faces extérieures sont identiques deux à deux, particularité relativement rare dans les pigeonniers du Gers.

History
Dovecote depending on the castle of Fondelin, of square plan, probably constructed to replace the primitive dovecote of hexagonal plan of which only the pillars remain. The ground floor serves as shelter for livestock, and opened to the exterior by four identical openings with round arch. Three of the openings have been walled up. The dovecote was found on the storey, and access was by a ladder engaged in a trapdoor. The exterior faces are identical in pairs, a relatively rare particularity in the dovecotes of the Gers.
