This former Templar preceptory, built in part since the thirteenth century (chapel), was over the centuries transformed exclusively into a farm: in the nineteenth century the chapel becomes even hay barn! Restored at the end of the 20th century and in the 21st century, this high place of local heritage now exhibits contemporary art. The chapel has been listed as a Historical Monument since 1926.
