History
The fief of the Ternes was bought around 1250 by Godefroy le Fort. His son Roger, who chose an ecclesiastical career, inherited it in 1308. In 1338, he founded the monastery of the Ternes for the Congregation of the Celestines. In 1367, the church and the conventional buildings were built and religious life established. If the church has disappeared, the conventional buildings remain. They are constituted by two wings in an L-shape. The entrance portal is flanked by two turrets. The old bakery, of square plan, is found to the north.
