The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet édifice est le seul bâtiment conservé des lieux conventuels élevés après l'introduction de la réforme de Saint-Maur en 1662. Sa première pierre a été posée le 3 février 1700. Ce bâtiment est parfaitement représentatif de l'architecture mauriste, notamment par la qualité de la stéréotomie de ses voûtes. Il se compose d'un corps de logis principal parallèle à l'église, et une aile en retour vers le sud, et s'élevait au centre des jardins du monastère. La salle du conseil est ornée de boiseries.

This building is the only surviving building of the conventual establishments erected after the introduction of the Saint-Maur reform in 1662. Its foundation stone was laid on 3 February 1700. This building is perfectly representative of Maurist architecture, notably by the quality of the stereotomy of its rib vaults. It consists of a main dwelling block parallel to the church, and a wing returning towards the south, and stood at the centre of the monastery gardens. The council chamber is adorned with woodwork.
