The Fresneau farm was one of the six farms that the lord of Janvry owned in the 17th century. Dovecotes are not to be confused with dovecotes (simple holes in a wall, a porch). A dovecote is a specific building in the shape of a tower generally topped like a pepperbox. They were used to house pigeons whose meat was very popular and to collect their droppings allowing the production of high quality fertilizer: columbine!
