The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La maison appartenait au collège Pélégri, fondé en 1365. L'édifice se présente comme une maison-tour, de plan barlong. Il compte sept niveaux, mais le bâtiment médiéval n'en comportait que cinq. Le quatrième niveau correspond au premier niveau médiéval. Fenêtres géminées. Le rez-de-chaussée côté nord a été prolongé par un four très important. Au premier étage d'origine, des traces d'enduit peint d'un faux-appareil ont été décelées.

History
The house belonged to the Pélégri college, founded in 1365. The building presents itself as a house-tower, of oblong plan. It comprises seven levels, but the medieval building had only five. The fourth level corresponds to the first medieval level. Twin windows. The ground floor on the north side was extended by a very large oven. On the first original storey, traces of rendered paint depicting a false-ashlar have been detected.
