Attractions
Chavagnac
- The Saint-Pantaléon church is a single-nave medieval building that was partially destroyed in a fire in the 18th century. The church owes its current appearance with a semicircular bell gable and gables over the side chapels to a restoration in the 19th century. The building contains a listed altarpiece from the Renaissance period (16th century) as well as a crucifixion group ( calvaire ) and several carved figures of saints from later times.
- The Tour de Chavagnac is the remains of a castle from the 15th century, which was partially destroyed in 1569 and burned down almost completely shortly before the outbreak of the French Revolution . The 25 m high multi-storey building with its stone cross-frame windows and lavatory core is a late representative of the medieval keep ( donjons ) and was also used as a watchtower ( tour de guet ) in the following years. The imposing tower was recognized as a Monument historique in 1947 .
- The local monument to the fallen of World War I was built in 1923.
