The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le manoir possède un colombier percheron du 16e siècle, sans doute couronné d'un lanternon en bois au 18e siècle. L'ouvrage a conservé l'ensemble de ses éléments, hormis l'échelle tournante.

The manor possesses a 16th-century Percheron dovecote, probably crowned with a timber lantern in the 18th century. The structure has retained all its elements, except for the rotating ladder.
