Before the Revolution, this building was part of the convent of the Poor Clares founded in 1243 by the viscounts of Turenne. From that period remained pointed arcades of the 13th century on the facade, as well as a large window of the 15th century. The arcades were demolished. The building was erected after the Wars of Religion. It presents two wings of building at right angles, separated by a round staircase tower. These wings of building frame a courtyard.
