This farm includes many buildings that delimit a closed courtyard with a dovecote in its center.
Some constructions, notably the dovecote, were already present on the plans of the register of the tenant extracts of Rotz (1387).
The religious of Saint-Ouen owned a dovecote by virtue of a right granted to them by the White Queen of Castile during the second Regency (1250).
In Normandy, the right to have a dovecote was a privilege; one had to own a fief of haubert and own 200 to 600 hectares of land.
