The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pigeonnier sans doute du 17e siècle, de plan carré, élevé sur arcades. Chacune des quatre piles d'angle, de section carrée, se termine par une imposte moulurée, à la retombée de l'arc. L'étage délimité par deux rebords de protection est percé d'une fenêtre rectangulaire à l'est. Deux mansardes servent d'accès aux pigeons, au midi et à l'est. Au-dessus, un lanternon carré, couvert d'un toit à quatre pans, constitue une seconde entrée pour les pigeons. Il est lui-même surmonté d'un faitage de pierre à bulbe. Murs en "opus quadratum".

History
Dovecote no doubt of the 17th century, of square plan, raised on arcades. Each of the four corner piles, of square section, is terminated by a moulded impost at the springing of the arch. The storey delimited by two protective ledges is pierced by a rectangular window to the east. Two mansards serve as access for the pigeons, to the south and east. Above, a square lantern, covered with a roof of four slopes, constitutes a second entrance for the pigeons. It is itself surmounted by a bulbous ridge of stone. Walls in opus quadratum.
