The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
En 1245, la chapelle du Bas-Morlu est cédée aux moines bénédictins. En 1485, l'évêque d'Orléans la cède à Richard du Mont, et l'édifice est alors transformé en manoir. Le corps de logis a été construit accolé à l'abside. Le mur de la nef a été surélevé pour créer un étage habitable. L'accès au bâtiment se fait par une tour polygonale qui a dû être ajoutée à la fin du 15e siècle et qui donne accès à l'étage. Le cul de four de l'abside conserve des peintures murales.

History
In 1245, the chapel of Bas-Morlu is ceded to the Benedictine monks. In 1485, the bishop of Orléans cedes it to Richard du Mont, and the edifice is then transformed into a manor. The main body of the dwelling was constructed joined to the apse. The wall of the nave was raised to create a habitable storey. Access to the building is by a polygonal tower which must have been added at the end of the 15th century and which gives access to the storey. The apse's conch retains mural paintings.
