History
Former residence of Paul Louis Courier. During his lifetime, it was extended by a wing and a small pavilion. In the mid-19th century, the pavilion was dismantled and rebuilt one km further away; the adjoining wing was destroyed. The house presents a long low building and a return at right angles, extension that could date from the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century.
