The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La destination primitive de cet édifice est inconnue. Il servit peut-être de maison de justice, mais aucun document ne le confirme. En 1876, le premier étage fut aménagé en auditoire pour la justice de paix et divisé par des cloisons. A l'intérieur, chacun des étages formait une seule salle dont le plafond de grosses poutres est supporté par deux colonnes rondes, aux chapiteaux ornés de larges feuillages. L'ancien escalier à vis a été remplacé par un escalier rampant à deux volées.

The original purpose of this building is unknown. It may have served as a justice house, but no document confirms this. In 1876, the first floor was arranged as a courthouse for the justice of the peace and divided by partitions. On the interior, each storey formed a single room whose ceiling of large beams is supported by two round columns, with capitals ornamented with broad foliage. The old spiral staircase was replaced by a ramp staircase in two flights.
