Renovated in 1752-53 in Louis XV style with a plastered facade, central bay accentuated by a wrought iron balcony on the main floor, ending in a triangular pediment; segmental arch windows. Slight damage in 1779 and 1814. Neo-Gothic renovation in 1891-96 based on a design by architect Langerock; contractor Cock. Addition of the monumental staircase in 1896.
