The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'ensemble des bâtiments du prieuré forme un petit hameau. L'église a disparu. Le logis prioral subsiste, constitué par un bâtiment comprenant un rez-de-chaussée. L'intérieur est divisé en trois salles dont l'une conserve une fenêtre à encadrement avec pilastres à chapiteaux Renaissance, et linteau à clé sculptée. Cette grande salle est chauffée par une cheminée à hotte soutenue par des jambages à chapiteaux Renaissance. La hotte conserve une peinture représentant la Vierge allaitant l'Enfant sous les yeux de Saint-Jospeh.

The ensemble of the priory buildings forms a small hamlet. The church has disappeared. The prioral main dwelling subsists, consisting of a building comprising a ground floor. The interior is divided into three rooms, one of which preserves a window with frame and pilasters with Renaissance capitals, and lintel with sculptured key. This large room is heated by a fireplace with hood supported by jambs with Renaissance capitals. The hood preserves a painting depicting the Virgin nursing the Child under the gaze of Saint Joseph.
