Description

Located near the cathedral bedside, this construction dates from the end of the 15th century. It is made up of several juxtaposed buildings which form an angle between the square and the street. The side overlooking the street has two levels of windows surrounded by moldings characteristic of the end of the 15th century, resting on carved bases. Moles and crosspieces have disappeared. The facade which overlooks the square has an entrance leading to an interior courtyard, where there is a staircase turret, followed by a small two -story building, accessible by a gallery on the first floor. The sculptures of the turret door reflect the style of the Renaissance. The tower rises on five levels, the last, which exceeds the rest of the building, is supported by stone crows.
