The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Bâtiment complexe, son affectation en auberge est attestée depuis le 17e siècle jusqu'au 20e siècle. On identifie principalement quatre campagnes de travaux successives correspondant à quatre corps de bâtiment au départ distincts : deux au 16e siècle, puis au 17e siècle et enfin au 18e siècle. Les travaux de réaménagement ont mis au jour un ensemble de décors comprenant plafond peint, larges décors de rinceaux et plancher soigné. Le plafond du 17e siècle est remarquable avec ses solives moulurées et peintes portant un décor de médaillons ainsi que des scènes de la vie du Christ.

Complex building, its use as an inn is attested from the 17th century until the 20th century. Four successive building campaigns are principally identified corresponding to four initially distinct building sections: two in the 16th century, then in the 17th century and finally in the 18th century. The remodelling work uncovered a set of decorations including painted ceiling, broad foliate scroll decorations and carefully finished floorboards. The 17th-century ceiling is remarkable with its moulded and painted beams bearing a decoration of medallions as well as scenes from the life of Christ.
