The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du début du 16e siècle, ayant subi d'importantes transformations par la suite, en particulier à l'intérieur. Comportant deux encorbellements au niveau des deux étages, la façade est construite en pans de bois garnis d'un remplissage en petits éléments calcaire et mortier de terre. Certaines suppressions de poteaux, meneaux et traverses de baies ont quelque peu modifié l'aspect primitif de cet immeuble. La façade s'orne de mouluration et de nombreux motifs sculptés, dont un grand poisson sur l'un des liens-consoles du rez-de-chaussée.

Building of the early 16th century, having undergone major transformations subsequently, in particular inside. Featuring two corbels at the level of the two storeys, the façade is constructed of timber framing filled with small limestone elements and earth mortar. Certain removals of posts, mullions and window transoms have somewhat modified the original appearance of this building. The façade is ornamented with moulding and numerous sculptured motifs, including a large fish on one of the console-ties of the ground floor.
