The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le portail n'est pas à son emplacement d'origine. Il viendrait d'un édifice de Poitiers, détruit au 19e siècle, peut-être l'ancienne église des Augustins, sculpté par les frères Girouard, sculpteurs poitevins célèbres au 17e siècle. Des statues ou trophées devaient surmonter l'entablement. Le château sur lequel ouvre ce portail date du 19e siècle.

History
The portal is not in its original location. It would come from a building in Poitiers, destroyed in the 19th century, perhaps the former church of the Augustins, carved by the brothers Girouard, celebrated Poitevin sculptors in the 17th century. Statues or trophies should have surmounted the entablature. The castle on which this portal opens dates from the 19th century.
