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.
Today the country guards are gradually disappearing and are being replaced by municipal police as in Maule.
The most popular image of the country guard is that of a “town crier”. Equipped with his drum, the country guard paces the streets, stops and, in a loud voice, announces “Notice to the population”.
In the municipal deliberations of Maule, we find a number of decisions which had to be announced in this way.
