The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cellier du 13e siècle qui dépendait de l'ancienne chartreuse de Meyrat. Le bâtiment principal présente deux tours carrées imbriquées, à trois niveaux. Au premier niveau se trouve une cave voûtée. A l'étage se trouvait un grand couloir qui desservait des pièces aménagées au 16e siècle et au bout duquel se trouve encore la chapelle. En 1560, adjonction d'étage et aménagements. Le plancher suspendu du cellier voûté est très rare. Un incendie a fait disparaître toute la partie 19e siècle et a ravagé l'étage dont seules subsistent les structures.

Cellar from the 13th century which depended on the old charterhouse of Meyrat. The main building presents two interlocking square towers, with three levels. On the first level is found a vaulted cellar. On the floor was found a large corridor which served rooms fitted out in the 16th century and at the end of which the chapel still stands. In 1560, addition of a storey and fittings. The suspended floor of the vaulted cellar is very rare. A fire caused the disappearance of the entire 19th-century section and ravaged the floor of which only the structures remain.
