Former building housing the municipal music school, with a turret with bells and an ogival door with arch.

Facing the Saint-Benoît chapel, this ancient building now houses the municipal music school. Built in the Renaissance period, it features a semi-hexagonal turret with belfries and an ogival door with an ornamented arch.

Take the tour to admire both sides of the building. Initially built in the 16th century as a college, the building became a prison at the end of the 18th century. It is obviously from this period that the building takes its name of "old prison".

Vieille Prison 36200 Argenton-Sur-Creuse
L'Ancien Collège qui abrite aujourd'hui une école municipale de musique est un très bel édifice. J'ai beaucoup aimé sa porte d'entrée ornée de pinacles et de feuilles de choux avec, au-dessus de cette porte, les deux anges qui soutiennent les armoiries d'Antoine Barbault ainsi que sa tourelle semi-hexagonale. Ce bâtiment servit de prison durant quelques années. A voir pour la mémoire en se promenant à Argenton-Sur-Creuse, sur la rive gauche, vers le Vieux Pont.
