Historique
Pigeonnier de plan circulaire. Le mur en moellon est crépi, un bandeau court tout autour, aux 2/3 de sa hauteur, et une corniche moulurée le couronne. Le toit conique est recouvert de pierre et s'ouvre par deux lucarnes à fronton triangulaire sommé d'une boule en amortissement. Dans le fronton du nord-est, un écu indique la date de 1841. A l'intérieur, le sol est dallé, les boulins sont séparés par des perchoirs et une échelle tournante est en place.

History
Dovecote of circular plan. The wall in rubble stone is rendered, a band runs all around it, at 2/3 of its height, and a moulded cornice crowns it. The conical roof is covered with stone and opens by two dormer windows with triangular pediment surmounted by a ball finial. In the north-east pediment, a shield indicates the date of 1841. Inside, the floor is paved, the nesting holes are separated by perches and a rotating ladder is in place.
