Pigeonnier de Pouzay

Description

Pigeonnier de Pouzay con un roble en el centro, clasificado como uno de los 250 árboles notables de Francia.
Privilegio señorial abolido durante la Revolución, el palomar de pie o fuie es un edificio redondo o cuadrado. Este palomar tiene 2.700 nichos o "boulins" y podía albergar en su momento unas 5.000 palomas. Esta cría intensiva también produjo un fertilizante muy codiciado llamado "colombina". Una cornisa claramente saliente impedía que las ratas y las comadrejas treparan por las paredes para entrar en el edificio a través de una de las claraboyas. Una escalera vertical, suspendida de soportes fijados a un poste central que pivotaba sobre su base, permitía el acceso a los nidos. Con el tiempo, un roble ha sustituido el tejado original para darle una silueta inusual. De los 5 palomares del municipio de Béceleuf, 4 siguen en pie, incluido el de Pouzay que es el único accesible.
