PYRAMID BARN
Discover the impressive pyramid-shaped barn, testimony to a unique know-how and a rich farming past in the Pays-Fort region
Pyramidal barns, treasures of Berrichon farming heritage, are unique in France. Dating from the 15th century, this barn has been dismantled, moved and reassembled for touring. With no load-bearing walls, its sides rest on beams converging on a pointed ridge reaching up to 15 meters. Impressive, they were used to store straw, fodder, carts, livestock and grain. Their ingenious design bears witness to ancestral know-how. Their origins remain unclear, but they may have been inherited from northern peoples such as the Visigoths.
