The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Massive construction en briques, ceinturée par trois corniches. La toiture, en tuile canal, est du type "pied de mulet" avec décrochement où s'ouvrent les sorties de pigeons. Sur trois côtés, les murs dépassent la toiture pour offrir un abri contre le vent. Le rez-de-chaussée est utilisé comme étable. L'accès de la partie haute du pigeonnier se fait par une porte au premier étage. A l'arrière, trois contreforts épaulent le mur. Il est vraisemblablement contemporain de la ferme voisine dont il dépend, datée de 1737. Son principal intérêt est d'avoir conservé ses 4 à 500 nids constitués de pots de terre noyés dans la maçonnerie.

Massive brick construction, encircled by three cornices. The roof, in barrel tiles, is of the "mule's foot" type with a step where the pigeon exits open. On three sides, the walls exceed the roof to provide shelter from the wind. The ground floor is used as a stable. Access to the upper part of the dovecot is by a door on the first floor. At the rear, three buttresses support the wall. It is probably contemporary with the neighbouring farmhouse to which it belongs, dated 1737. Its principal interest is that it has retained its 4 to 500 nests constituted of earthenware pots set into the masonry.
