The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice civil de la fin du Moyen-âge, affecté comme auberge dès le 14e ou 15e siècle. Le cadastre de 1838 indique une tour ronde dans l'angle nord de la parcelle. Des bâtiments occupent l'aile orientale de la cour rectangulaire. L'auberge présente toujours le même plan presque carré avec un four à pain sur son côté sud, séparé du logis. Un petit bâtiment sous toiture en appentis est venu se rajouter, appuyé contre l'élévation est de la maison. Cette dernière est construite en moëllon et pierre de taille (granit). La façade sud est percée d'une grande baie à croisée de meneaux et d'une porte sommée d'un gâble en accolade et encadrée de piédroits moulurés. A l'intérieur, certaines ouvertures conservent leurs coussièges. Cheminées du 15e siècle.

Civil building of the late Middle Ages, used as an inn from the 14th or 15th century. The 1838 cadastral map indicates a round tower in the north angle of the plot. Buildings occupy the eastern wing of the rectangular courtyard. The inn still presents the same almost square plan with a bread oven on its south side, separated from the main dwelling. A small building under a lean-to roof was added later, leaning against the east elevation of the house. The latter is built in rubble stone and cut stone (granite). The south facade is pierced by a large opening with a mullioned cross-window and a door topped with a hooked gable and framed by moulded doorposts. Inside, certain openings retain their window seats. Fireplaces of the 15th century.
