The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette grange est représentative d'un type ancien rencontré dans les exploitations rurales traditionnelles de Champagne berrichonne. La charpente, le toit à deux versants et croupe sur l'auvent, constituent une part très importante de l'édifice. Les murs gouttereaux en moellons de calcaire descendent très bas, ne sont pas porteurs et laissent ce rôle aux poteaux de la charpente. Intérieurement, cette grange est composée d'une simple nef longitudinale de circulation, flanquée de deux bas-côtés. Le poids de la charpente repose sur des poteaux verticaux ancrés dans le sol et qui divisent l'espace intérieur. Chaque assemblage a la forme d'un U renversé et se répète à intervalles réguliers. La partie arrière a été démolie pour agrandir l'espace.

History
This barn is representative of an ancient type encountered in traditional rural exploitations in Champagne berrichonne. The roof structure, the roof with two slopes and hip over the overhang, constitute a very significant part of the building. The guttered walls in limestone rubble are very low, are not load-bearing and leave this role to the roof structure posts. Internally, this barn is composed of a simple longitudinal nave of circulation, flanked by two aisles. The weight of the roof structure rests on vertical posts anchored in the ground and which divide the interior space. Each assembly has the form of an inverted U and repeats at regular intervals. The rear section was demolished to enlarge the space.
