Description
The 15th and 16th centuries were difficult times, which prompted to strengthen the commandery with a corner tower. It was also protected by an enclosure with a bridge. Tooled by the wars of religion, the commandery was sold as a national property after the Revolution. The main value of this building lies in its remarkable architectural elements: a concealed medieval fireplace, a row of posts decorated with prismatic patterns and a large staircase that leads to the cellars.
