Historique
Ce pigeonnier polygonal en brique à l'allure imposante date probablement du 17e siècle. Il est supporté par huit piliers de pierres cylindriques dont un au milieu qui sert d'appui aux poutres rayonnantes sur lesquelles il est édifié. Ces piliers sont couronnées d'un chapiteau renversé appelé "capel", destiné à arrêter les rongeurs. La toiture à sept pans est surmontée d'un lanternon pyramidal à base polygonale abritant un tambour de bois percé de trous permettant le passage des pigeons.

History
This polygonal dovecote in brick with an imposing appearance probably dates from the 17th century. It is supported by eight cylindrical stone pillars, one of which in the middle serves as support for the radiating beams on which it is built. These pillars are crowned with an inverted capital called a "capel", intended to stop rodents. The roof with seven slopes is surmounted by a pyramidal lantern with a polygonal base housing a wooden drum pierced with holes allowing the passage of pigeons.
