The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, fourth quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

La Coutardière manor is a 15th-century rural estate, once a seigneurial seat, later converted into a farm following the French Revolution. Its main residential building retains the fittings and building techniques of the early 17th century. The chapel of Saint-Antoine de Padoue, founded in 1531, stands out for its period wall paintings.
