History
Tall main dwelling with timber framing covered with slate tiles, interesting for the sculptures of the pillars which support the floors in corbelling, the corner posts and the window frames. They represent a Holy Family, a king removing his crown, a monk, apostles, saints and holy women. Some windows have been enlarged since the 17th century and the wooden mullions removed. The interior preserves some doors with small panels dating from the original period.
