The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce presbytère dont l'origine remonte au début du 18ème siècle, fut restauré (un tiers) et reconstruit, pour le reste, en torchis et pans de bois, en 1840. A partir de 1860, l'utilisation systématique de la brique dans la construction des presbytères banalise le modèle. Les presbytères antérieurs à cette date sont rares et ceux bâtis en torchis ont disparu. La maison comprend un rez-de-chaussée rectangulaire et présente une allure trapue. Le mur pignon est en silex et brique. Le toit est percé, au sud, de trois belles-voisines recouvertes d'ardoises. A l'intérieur, la distribution des pièces a été respectée. La restauration de cet ancien presbytère à l'abandon, entreprise par les propriétaires depuis 1995 a été menée dans le respect total du bâti et des matériaux d'origine (torchis..). A ce titre, il est considéré comme un modèle-témoin d'un type d'édifice du patrimoine rural. Il conserve également son environnement originel: jardin du curé, église, cimetière.

This presbytery, whose origins date back to the early 18th century, was restored (one third) and rebuilt, for the rest, in cob and timber framing, in 1840. From 1860 onwards, the systematic use of brick in the construction of presbyteries made the model commonplace. Presbyteries predating this date are rare and those built in cob have disappeared. The house comprises a rectangular ground floor and has a squat appearance. The gable wall is in flint and brick. The roof is pierced, to the south, by three dormers covered in slate. Inside, the distribution of the rooms has been respected. The restoration of this former abandoned presbytery, undertaken by the owners since 1995, has been carried out in total respect of the building and original materials (cob...). As such, it is considered a model-specimen of a type of rural heritage building. It also retains its original setting: the priest's garden, church, cemetery.
