History

The village of Crissay was to be a dormitory village. Forming a group of gentlemen's dwellings, it certainly housed members of the court of Charles VII. This ashlar stone house has preserved, on the upper storey, its original openings. Two dormers with stone cross-windows light the roof space. The brackets and pinnacles have retained their volumes and the essential mouldings. The windows on the street, to the east, have the same stone cross-windows and profile of Gothic mouldings. Their projecting part at the rounded corners is dominated by sculptures resting on corbels. At the rear, on the west side, facing the courtyard, numerous small additions date from the 17th century, and surround a square staircase tower, itself later than the 15th-century construction.
