It is a listed historic monument since 6 March 1928.[3] It is holding a copy of a 17th century painting by Jean Jouvenet representing the Visitation of the Virgin created for the choir of the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris. This copy was originally created for the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, and was classified as a historic object on 5 December 1908.[4]
