Attractions

Notre-Dame church of Arget
  • Church of Our Lady , dedicated to Mary the Mother of Jesus . There is much evidence that the origins of the village lie in an 11th century fortified settlement. The local church with its cemetery is located on an almost square hill on which a mound castle stood. Two adjacent streets are now laid out on the site of trenches. The original, Romanesque style church was built in the 12th century and redesigned in the 15th century, as evidenced by the bell tower with buttresses and a wall opening in the shape of a pointed arch in the apse . The building was restored in the 19th and 20th centuries.
