The house takes its name from a ring visible on its facade, that the popular tradition attributes to use to hang condemned. It is a decorated corner house, which has a floor in addition to the ground floor, with a door decorated with a curved eardrum. The two upstairs windows, which still have their crossroads, each light a room heated by a hood fireplace. A spiral wooden staircase connects the different levels. On the gable wall is, there is, in the coating, a semicircular arc.
