The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Pigeonnier associé au château du vieux domaine vinicole de Lastours. Sa construction est attribuée aux Calmels qui achètent l'ensemble du bâti au début du 17e siècle et qui restaurent le vieux château. La qualité architecturale et esthétique de ce pigeonnier lui vaut de figurer dans tous les ouvrages traitant du sujet.

Edifice exceptionnel d'une grande perfection formelle et seul vestige significatif de ce que fut le domaine d'origine.
