The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le domaine est cité dès le 11e siècle. Après 1070, Gérard de Jau donna à l'abbaye de Solignac son manse de Coder (Coudier). En 1178, l'abbé de Solignac donna le lieu du Coudier aux moines de Grandmont. L'ordre essaima à partir de cette localité. Vers 1220, Caturcin, neuvième prieur de Grandmont, ayant reçu d'Henri III Plantagenêt, fils de Jean sans Terre, droit de haute et basse justice, tint ses assises au Coudier. La première construction de la grande dîmière doit remonter à la fin du 12e siècle. La grange, de plan rectangulaire et qui comportait deux rangées de onze piliers, a été réduite du côté sud-sud-est (il ne reste plus que deux rangées de sept piliers). Le pignon nord-nord-ouest a dû être refait avant 1821.

The estate is mentioned as early as the 11th century. After 1070, Gérard de Jau gave to the abbey of Solignac his manse of Coder (Coudier). In 1178, the abbot of Solignac gave the place of Coudier to the monks of Grandmont. The order spread from this locality. Around 1220, Caturcin, ninth prior of Grandmont, having received from Henry III Plantagenet, son of John Lackland, the right of high and low justice, held his assizes at Coudier. The first construction of the great tithe barn must date to the end of the 12th century. The barn, of rectangular plan and which comprised two rows of eleven pillars, was reduced on the south-south-east side (only two rows of seven pillars now remain). The north-north-west gable must have been rebuilt before 1821.
