History
This house is a rare example of a civil building for domestic use from the Romanesque period. A rent register of the abbey of Saint-Hyppolite mentions, between 1288 and 1299, the great cellar or underground chamber of the widow of Macé Trousseau. Subsequently, the house was included in larger buildings, in the middle of the 15th century. The building presents a ground floor pierced by four openings to the north and by a large arch placed in the 15th century. The first storey is pierced by twin openings with sculptured capitals.
