Historique
Presbsytère construit en 1760 par le curé Dufour qui souhaitait faire "bonne figure" par rapport au château de Carantilly construit peu auparavant. La construction comprend cinq travées surmontées d'un étage carré à avant corps central en légère saillie. Ce dernier élément s'ornait d'un fronton en bois disparu au cours du 20e siècle. L'édifice a conservé la distribution de ses pièces qui se commandent entre elles. Cheminée à trumeau sculpté dans la salle à manger. Mascarons à tête de Gorgone formant clé de voûte des portes d'entrée. A l'étage, pièce de réception appelée "chambre de l'Evêque". Le jardin d'agrément était ceinturé par des douves en eau.

History
Presbytery built in 1760 by the curé Dufour who wished to cut "a good figure" in relation to the château de Carantilly built shortly before. The construction comprises five bays surmounted by a square storey with a central avant-corps in slight projection. This latter element was decorated with a wooden pediment which disappeared in the course of the 20th century. The building has preserved the distribution of its rooms which command each other. Fireplace with sculpted trumeau in the dining room. Mascarons with Gorgon heads forming the keystone of the entrance doors. On the storey, a reception room called "chambre de l'Evêque". The pleasure garden was encircled by water-filled moats.
