XIII th century
In this room, the monks stored tithing, a fee in kind on agricultural products for worship and assistance to the poor.
Another staircase leads to a cellar today collapsed.
If you walk in the summer in the plain around Maule,
you will see the imposing combine harvesters, computers on board. Mechanization became widespread in the 1950s and has progressed considerably since then. Previously, there were a few steam combine harvesters which already constituted progress compared to the fan which required the intervention of three people. This one, exhibited at the museum, belonged to the Bahier family of Maule who, before donating it to the museum, restored it to its initial state.
