    The arcaded façade and sculptures date from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, and are the work of Italian sculptors who worked at Château du Montal in the Lot department.
    After the canonically ordained priests, the Maison Renaissance housed the 10 swearing priests who, between 1791 and 1793, took an oath "to the nation". The town hall moved in several times, as did the Justice of the Peace. The façade, roof and staircase tower have been listed since 2003.
    The Renaissance house is only visible from the outside.
