The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cet édifice de la première moitié du 14ème siècle au bel appareil de grès est doté de baies géminées et d'archères cruciformes qui ne semblent pas être défensives. Lieu de résidence sur deux niveaux, cette tour médiévale isolée a probablement connu différents usages, en dehors de celui de pigeonnier.

History
This building from the first half of the 14th century with fine ashlar of sandstone is furnished with paired openings and cruciform loopholes which do not appear to be defensive. A place of residence on two levels, this isolated medieval tower probably knew different uses, outside of that of dovecote.
