The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancienne métairie ayant très certainement appartenu à la collégiale Saint-Martin. Une tour carrée servait de porte d'accès. L'étage supérieur est occupé par un colombier ayant conservé ses boulins. A mi hauteur, une corniche de pierre destinée à recevoir les pigeons et à leur permettre de pénétrer à l'intérieur.

History
Former farmhouse which most certainly belonged to the collegiate church of Saint-Martin. A square tower served as an entrance door. The upper floor is occupied by a dovecote which has retained its nesting holes. At mid-height, a stone cornice intended to receive the pigeons and to allow them to enter inside.
