History

Official heritage record, in French:

Le volume, l´emprise au sol et la tourelle d´escalier du logis principal semblent dater du 16e siècle. Il a été modifié au 17e siècle, dans la partie ouest, par la mise en place d´un toit à croupe, le percement de baies et le rajout d'un passage latéral. Les deux autres corps de bâtiments figurent sur le cadastre de 1824 ; celui situé à l´est, avec sa façade en pignon et une fenêtre sur l´angle à l´étage, remonte peut-être au 16e ou 17e siècle. Les communs donnant sur la rue datent de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle. L´appellation de l´édifice se réfère à la famille Briant de Laubrière, propriétaire au 18e siècle. Une construction moderne s'élève dans l´ancien jardin.

Architecture

Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:

Cet ensemble hétérogène est composé de trois corps de bâtiments formant un alignement qui donne sur l´ancien jardin d´agrément situé près de la rivière de l´Ellé. Le logis principal est partiellement couvert d´un toit à croupe, à l´exception de la tourelle d´escalier, coiffée d´un toit conique. Le corps de bâtiment central et le logis est sont couverts de toits à croupe ou à longs pans reliés par une noue. Un appentis sur porche, soutenu par un pilier, forme un passage latéral au rez-de-chaussée et abrite une pièce à l´étage. L´intérieur n´a pas été vu lors de l´enquête.
