The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Construite probablement au XIIe siècle par les Hospitaliers de l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. L'édifice a été très dégradée par son utilisation antérieure: stockage de grains; la voûte de la première travée a été détruite et un mur en pisé édifié entre la première et l deuxième travée de manière à construire un plancher.

Abandonnée ; Façade Nord masquée par un bâtiment agricole.

Built probably in the 12th century by the Hospitallers of the order of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. The edifice has been much degraded by its previous use: grain storage; the vault of the first bay has been destroyed and a rammed earth wall constructed between the first and second bay so as to construct a floor.

Abandoned; North façade masked by an agricultural building.
