The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison actuelle, restaurée aux 19e et 20e siècles, a conservé en grande partie sa volumétrie. A l'origine, le pignon sur cour était en pan de bois. A l'intérieur, les niveaux d'origine n'ont pas été conservés. L'étage noble devait être formé d'un seul niveau sous charpente. Le décor sculpté des chapiteaux, faisant appel à un répertoire naturaliste, ainsi que les remplages des baies jumelées permettent une datation entre 1260 et 1300.

The present house, restored in the 19th and 20th centuries, has retained largely its volume. Originally, the gable facing the courtyard was timber-framed. Inside, the original levels have not been preserved. The noble floor was to have been formed of a single level beneath the roof structure. The sculpted decoration of the capitals, drawing on a naturalistic repertory, as well as the tracery of the paired openings allow a dating between 1260 and 1300.
