The ensemble was built in the 13th or 14th century. The great arch was formerly defended by two towers of which only one remains. The coronation of the latter, which was already lacking in 1589, was restored around 1865, with a slender cover that appears on old documents.

L'ensemble a été construit au 13e ou au 14e siècle. La grande arche était autrefois défendue par deux tours dont une seule subsiste. Le couronnement de cette dernière, qui manquait déjà en 1589, a été reconstitué vers 1865, avec une couverture moins élancée qui figure sur d'anciens documents.
