Description
Formerly located in the heart of the outbuildings, the pigeonnier of the beautiful rories is the last vestige and now faces the castle which was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. Erected in 1611 (date listed above the door), it presents a circular shape surmounted by an impressive roof with four bunk levels, on which a lantern rests. The three upper levels, with openings to allow the passage of pigeons, adopt a hexagonal shape. Inside, there are 1,200 boulins holes accessible by two rotating scales.
