The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette grange dépendait du château de Cas, qui remonte au 12e siècle mais date du 17e. Il fut une annexe de la commanderie de Lacapelle-Livron à la suite d'une donation faite en 1254 à l'ordre des Templiers par Aymeric et Frotard de Cas. C'est un grand bâtiment à un étage possédant peu d'ouvertures. Au rez-de-chaussée, large salle voûtée en berceau sans arc doubleau aux murs très épais, qui fut utilisée comme étable. Deux fenêtres à profond ébrasement éclaire cette salle. Au premier étage se trouve la grange à laquelle on accède par une large rampe menant à un portail en anse de panier. A l'intérieur, quatre grands arcs diaphragmes en plein cintre étayent les murs et supportent la charpente.

This barn belonged to the château de Cas, which dates back to the 12th century but is from the 17th. It was an annex of the commandery of Lacapelle-Livron following a donation made in 1254 to the Order of the Templars by Aymeric and Frotard de Cas. It is a large single-storey building with few openings. On the ground floor, a large hall with barrel vault without doubled arch and very thick walls, which was used as a stable. Two windows with deep splays light this hall. On the first floor is the barn which is accessed by a wide ramp leading to a basket-handle arch portal. Inside, four large diaphragm arches with round arch support the walls and carry the roof structure.
