This large double wooden house with a stone base was built in 1715 and 1716 for Jacques and Pierre Mossu, whose names appear on the tiled stove (dated 1715). Adjoining the parish church built in 1816, the Maison Mossu boasts a delightful facade, one of the most remarkable in the canton, enriched by a rare example of applied carpentry with sculpted decoration dating from 1716 and including arcatures (small arcades), friezes, pediments and posts with bas-reliefs.

Covered by a gable roof with a coyau fold (broken roof slope), the three wooden storeys are pierced by a series of windows, making the interior bright and conducive to working at home on lace or woven straw, despite the imposing eaves protecting an openwork gallery in the attic. Is the monogram P.R. that of the master carpenter who built it, like the contemporary Arses house, which bears an identical added motif?
