In the north of Gers, 5 minutes from a historic and tourist spa town, a fortified house from the 13th and 17th centuries and its outbuildings, on 5 hectares of land. From the departmental road, an 800 m gravel path leads to the property situated among fields, on top of a hill. Protected from any overlooking, the main building faces a small valley, at the end of which the Esquère flows, among the estate's outbuildings, to form a complex once enclosed by walls. A municipal hospice in the 13th and 14th centuries, it was occupied by the family of Bishop Martin Gutteria of Pamplona from 1450. The building's main area was doubled at the end of the 16th century, while the spiral staircase tower was added to the complex in the 17th century. The various openings on the facade, as well as the types of masonry, bear witness to these stages of construction and successive modifications. Several remarkable cross and twin windows, arrow slits and murder holes are among the preserved elements. The main dwelling, built on rock, is two levels high under unrenovated attics and has a cellar dug beneath the central part, the oldest. Topped with a two-pitched roof covered with canal tiles on the body of the house and a flat tile roof on the tower, it has retained its authenticity. A terrace with a pool is supported by a high stone wall to the south. A first elongated outbuilding, two levels high under a roof lower than the house, formerly used as a sheepfold, stretches to the east. A second building is erected at right angles, forming a U shape with the main house. A vast awning is attached to the east. Opposite, forming a courtyard, a single-level outbuilding, intended as shelter for farm animals, has undergone a fire on part of the roof. A gravelled spring, located below the courtyard, flows to form a small pond.
