The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le village de Crissay devait servir de village dortoir. Formant un ensemble de demeures de gentilshommes, il abritait certainement des membres de la cour de Charles VII. Ce petit logis, composé d'un étage sur rez-de-chaussée, présente une façade principale sur rue composée, à l'étage supérieur, de pans de bois et de colombage de torchis. Elle est percée de deux fenêtres dont les appuis de bois sont sculptés. Les pignons sont en pierre de taille et leurs rampants à rondelis.

The village of Crissay must have served as a bedroom village. Forming an ensemble of gentlemen's dwellings, it certainly housed members of the court of Charles VII. This small main dwelling, composed of one storey over a ground floor, presents a main façade on the street composed, at the upper storey, of timber framing and wattle and daub infill. It is pierced by two windows whose wooden sills are carved. The gables are in ashlar and their slopes with roundels.
