This farmhouse was built at the end of the 19th century and finished in 1901 by Mr Sixte Magnin on the site of an original burnt down building.
The former thatch roof was the cause of the blaze so Sixte chose to slate the roof.
The building belonged to his wife Thelcyde’s family for generations. It was considered well to do because of its size and its superb architecture (trompe l’oeil paintings, golasses, jacobine, woodwork, etc…). A part of the building was used as a habitation and the rest as a stable and barn.
The building was used as a farm until 1974 by Hélène Savoye née Gilloz, grand daughter of Jeanne Gilloz, nicknamed “the marquise”. For over 75 years, the farm sheltered beneath roof sheep, goats, donkeys and cattle. The steel ring to the left of the entrance, was where “La Rougette”, Helene’s last cow was tied up.
Helene left the house in 1976 and was its last occupant.
30 years later and more than a century after its construction, the old farmhouse will accommodate people after a renovation lead by Lionel Savoye, grandson of Helene Savoye and the 6th generation after Sixte and Thelcyde Magnin.
