Editorial reading
The house began as a 'borie' belonging to the cathedral chapter of Périgueux. The record describes the enclosure with its pyramid-roofed bartizans, the gatehouse defending the inner court, and the main block flanked by two large round towers with machicolations, restored in the nineteenth century. Of the grounds it says two things: in the middle of the meadow to the west stands a circular dovecote dated 1661, and in the gardens to the south a small sepulchral chapel was built in the nineteenth century, entered under a triangular pediment on two Gallo-Roman columns said to come from Vesunna. The 1974 listing covers the entrance postern and its two adjoining buildings with the corner bartizans.
