The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Implanté au flanc de la falaise qui fait face à la cité de Rocamadour, il est isolé et marque fortement le paysage. Pas de date certaine pour cet édifice typique des paysages quercynois et dont le modèle perdure du 16e au 19e siècle. La mouluration de la corniche ou " randière " en quart de rond pourrait appeler une datation haute.

History
Located on the flank of the cliff facing the city of Rocamadour, it is isolated and strongly marks the landscape. No certain date for this building, typical of Quercy landscapes, whose model persists from the 16th to the 19th century. The moulding of the cornice or "randière" in quarter-round could suggest a high dating.
