The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Salle appelée souterraine, mais qui se trouve en fait au rez-de-chaussée. Elle se compose d'une file de colonnes romanes portant des voûtes d'arête. Au-dessus de cette salle s'élève une construction relativement moderne. Rien dans les annales ne permet de rattacher la salle basse à un château, prieuré ou tout autre édifice ancien. Colonnes et chapiteaux peuvent être un remploi.

History
Room called underground, but which is in fact on the ground floor. It consists of a row of Romanesque columns bearing groin vaults. Above this room rises a relatively modern construction. Nothing in the annals allows the lower room to be connected to a castle, priory or any other ancient building. Columns and capitals may be reused material.
