PATRIMOINE - Caveau de Pierre Loth

This impressive vault is carved from local granite and richly decorated. The symbols of the Compagnons, animal, plant and geometric decorations, the scales, the Phrygian bonnet, a sword and a ciborium are all represented in a conventional, classical or more original manner. It is topped by a large stone ball, which, it is said, used to rotate.

Rectangular in plan, it is composed of four superimposed elements:

- a base on two levels, with planting cavities in the last level;
- a truncated-pyramid block decorated with sacred or symbolic objects in a cartouche on the main side facing the driveway.
- an ensemble adorned with various stylized plant and geometric motifs, structured laterally by two piers with inner corbels and centrally by two paired columns with volute capitals
