Le rez-de-chaussée est ouvert sur les quatre faces. Arcs surbaissés, sauf à l'ouest. L'accès au premier étage se fait par un escalier indépendant, installé dans le bâtiemnt voisin. Le premier étage sert de fruitière. De là, un escalier de bois mène au dernier étage servant de pigeonnier. Le toit est surmonté d'un campanile et un épi de terre cuite vernissée verte.

History
Dovecot probably constructed at the same time as the château de Lalanne of which it is part. Of a rare type in the region, it is situated at the end of traditional local construction. The ground floor is open on all four faces. Depressed arches, except on the west. Access to the first storey is by an independent staircase, installed in the neighbouring building. The first storey serves as a fruit-loft. From there, a wooden staircase leads to the top storey serving as a dovecot. The roof is surmounted by a campanile and a green glazed terracotta roof finial.
