Cette haute maison, ornée de fenêtres et de lucarnes en pierre moulurée fut la propriété du Capitaine Louis d'Ars, maître d'armes du célèbre Chevalier Bayard qu'il adouba lui-même. Il possédait également le Château d'Ars, situé à 2 km au nord de La Châtre.

Elle fut achetée en 1638 par les pensionnaires du couvent des Carmes. Cette maison abrita des religieuses Ursulines en 1855, les Dames Dominicaines en 1869 puis le collège des jeunes filles.
