The Ministère de la Culture's notice

De cette ancienne ferme monastique relevant de l'abbaye Saint-Jean des Vignes à Soissons subsistent encore quelques vestiges architecturaux de l'époque médiévale intégrés dans des constructions récentes et le colombier du 16e siècle. Ce colombier constitue l'unique témoin encore authentique de cet établissement agricole. En effet, malgré le mauvais état de conservation de l'ensemble toutes les dispositions et aménagements fonctionnels sont conservés : rez-de-chaussée voûté sur croisée d'ogives, trous de boulins à l'étage, échelle pivotante et à l'extérieur bandeaux à larmier délimitant les niveaux pour se prémunir des rongeurs.

Tour octogonale recouverte d'un dôme de pierre à pans.

Of this former monastic farm dependent on the abbey of Saint-Jean des Vignes at Soissons there still remain a few architectural vestiges from the medieval period integrated into recent constructions and the 16th-century dovecote. This dovecote constitutes the sole authentic witness still remaining of this agricultural establishment. Indeed, despite the poor state of preservation of the whole, all the functional arrangements and fittings are preserved: ground floor vaulted on a rib crossing, nesting holes at the upper level, pivoting ladder and on the outside string courses with drip mouldings delimiting the levels to guard against rodents.

Octagonal tower covered with a faceted stone dome.
