This house, originally built with a single ground floor on land belonging to the Abbey, was raised by one storey in 1865. At that time, the openings were enlarged and the pediment of the entrance door was adorned with a Virgin no doubt taken from a building belonging to the Abbey, which had been destroyed when it was converted into a prison. This group, which was once polychrome, represents the Virgin and Child. It is placed in front of a flamboyant Gothic stained glass window, above an altar covered with a tablecloth and two candlesticks. The whole is framed by two Renaissance columns, once painted in spiral bands, on which are clutched two angels that appear to represent the donors. The whole, which rests on a console that has only just been sketched out, is surmounted by a very elaborate entablature formed of an alternating garland of stylised motifs from the same period: floral bells, beetles and Burgundy cabbage leaves.
Not open to the public: this private site can only be viewed from the outside.
