The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Vraisemblablement édifiées au 14e siècle (la première mention de l’existence d’un marché à Belvoir date de 1314) , les halles ont accueilli jusqu’à la fin du 19e siècle quatre foires annuelles d’importance et un marché hebdomadaire. Elles deviennent propriété communale en 1853 et subissent divers travaux (modification des ouvertures, aménagement de logements). L’espace intérieur, entièrement charpenté, se compose de 3 nefs divisées en 13 travées. La croupe située au sud-ouest abrite un moulin à huile mû par traction animale. Alliant une fonction commerciale et artisanale, ce bel exemple d’architecture rurale a fait l’objet d’une campagne de restauration en 1980.

Presumably built in the 14th century (the first mention of the existence of a market at Belvoir dates from 1314), the market halls accommodated until the end of the 19th century four annual fairs of importance and a weekly market. They become communal property in 1853 and undergo various works (modification of openings, arrangement of dwellings). The interior space, entirely roofed, consists of 3 naves divided into 13 bays. The hip roof situated to the south-west shelters an oil mill driven by animal traction. Combining a commercial and craft function, this fine example of rural architecture was the subject of a restoration campaign in 1980.
