The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Immeuble ayant servi de maison canoniale avant la Révolution au chanoines qui n'étaient pas curés de la collégiale. En 1802, devient prebystère lors du Concordat. Façades du 12e siècle, percées d'une arcade en plein cintre dont le clavage, mouluré d'un tore et circonscrit par une archivolte, retombe sur des colonnettes à chapiteaux garnis de crochets. Chaque arcade encadre une fenêtre. Ce bâtiment rejoint, au sud, la façade nord d'un édifice du 16e siècle et, au nord, une habitation également du 16e dont la façade Est est accompagnée d'une tour polygonale logeant une vis en pierre.

Building that served as a canon's house before the Revolution for the canons who were not curates of the collegiate church. In 1802, becomes presbytery at the time of the Concordat. Façades of the 12th century, pierced by a round arch arcade whose voussoirs, moulded with a torus and circumscribed by an archivolt, rest on small columns with capitals furnished with crockets. Each arcade frames a window. This building joins, to the south, the north façade of a 16th-century edifice and, to the north, a dwelling also of the 16th century whose East façade is accompanied by a polygonal tower housing a spiral staircase in stone.
