The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Mentionné dès la fin du 15e siècle, l'édifice subit des travaux d'envergure au milieu du 17e siècle, lui donnant son allure actuelle. Il présente une façade unique qui fut une innovation : la cage d'escalier sur plan carré marque l'axe de symétrie. Elle dépasse l'ensemble du bâtiment de deux niveaux, formant belvédère.

Mentioned from the late 15th century onwards, the building underwent major work in the middle of the 17th century, giving it its present appearance. It presents a unique façade which was an innovation: the staircase cage on a square plan marks the axis of symmetry. It rises above the whole building by two storeys, forming a belvedere.
