Origin and history
The Chartreuse de Poliné, located in Pavie, Gers, is a historical monument whose main elements date from the 1st and 4th quarter of the 19th century. It consists of a master house and a restored dovecote, both listed in the Historical Monuments. The house houses a living room decorated with a rare panoramic wallpaper, dated around 1810, representing views of Spain (Burgos, Castle of Coca, port of Algeciras, ruins of Granada). This grey decor, complemented by street scenes and ancient patterns on the hazes, bears witness to a remarkable artistic know-how for the time.
The dovecote, built in the late 19th century, is an original brick and wood building, backed by a stone hangar. Designed to house pigeons, hens and pigs, it is distinguished by its wooden grates and perch, as well as by slats arranged in a crucifix. No such equivalent was identified in the Gers, highlighting its uniqueness. The estate, always maintained by the family owner, thus combines architectural heritage and agricultural functionality.
The official protections concern the facades and roofs of the house (with its living room and wallpapers, registered in 2008), as well as the dovecote and hangar (registered in 2010). These measures preserve a representative set of rural architecture and 19th-century interior decorations in Occitanie. The location of the site, close to Auch, is considered satisfactory (note 8/10), facilitating its access and heritage development.
