The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
En 1635, l'immeuble est vendu aux consuls de la ville par le duc de Ventadour afin d'y installer la justice ducale. Puis, l'ancien collège, fondé en 1579 par Gilbert de Léon, duc de Ventadour, occupa le bâtiment jusqu'en 1791. Après le collège, le tribunal civil s'y installa jusqu'en 1825, date à laquelle la ville proposa au département de lui céder le bâtiment pour y installer la sous-préfecture. Les bâtiments sont rachetés par la commune en 1884. La porte d'entrée Renaissance est à pilastre et fronton. Une croisée de style Renaissance la surmonte.

History
In 1635, the building is sold to the consuls of the town by the duke of Ventadour in order to install ducal justice there. Then, the former college, founded in 1579 by Gilbert de Léon, duke of Ventadour, occupied the building until 1791. After the college, the civil court was installed there until 1825, the date at which the town proposed to the département to cede the building to it in order to install the sub-prefecture. The buildings are repurchased by the commune in 1884. The Renaissance entrance doorway has pilasters and a pediment. A window of Renaissance style surmounts it.
