Description
This bridge, which is probably dates from the 15th century, is made up of a donkey structure with four arcades and spurs on the upstream side. Its width is 2.20 meters between the parapets. The arches have various dimensions, and the central arch rises up to 3.30 meters above the Sénouire. The batteries, protected by spurs, also show uneven forces. This bridge was to serve access to the castle, built at the same period, as well as the priory-cure. However, the rehearsal of the same styles over the centuries makes its dating difficult difficult. It seems that the bridge was renovated in 1850, probably after a flood.
