Facing Saint Benoît chapel, this ancient building houses the municipal music school. Built in the Renaissance, it consists of a semi-hexagonal semi-hexagonal turret and an ogivale door with ornamented arc. Turn around to admire both sides of the building. In the sixteenth century it was built to serve as a college, then a prison occupied the places at the end of the eighteenth century. It was then that he was named «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.
