Of pine or fir, this material was used to build the beams of the floors and the entire structure of the roof. It was also used for flooring, partitions and roofing. (now updated and fully modern). Given its importance, the obtaining and exploitation of wood in the forests was given away by the administrations.The wood is found framing the openings of the façade, which are smaller to the non-sunny facades and larger to the main façade, to the parts better oriented to light and solar heat are the balconies.It is also the material for the musicadures, ancient decorations on wood.
