Attractions

Parish Church of Saint-Michel

The former church had a choir with a rectangular ground plan, which in a fünfwändigen apse completed, and a nave with a length of three yokes , the narrow columns were separated. Of this previous building, only the western entrance portal still exists today , which is very damaged. In 1889 the church was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style by master masons Lespinasse and Ratier under the direction of architect T. Teulère. On the north side, at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century, the sacristy was added to the straight yoke of the choir. The architect Gaston Rapin had the walls and the vault reinforced in 1913 . In 1966 the architect J. Depoid and the contractor A. Parrot had the church restored.

Five glass windows are works by the glass painter Gustave Pierre Dagrant from Bordeaux , which he created in 1889. They show the Heart of Jesus , the Archangel Michael , Louis the Saint and two other windows decorated with ornaments with the coat of arms of Pope Leo XIII. and by Charles Coeuret-Varin, Bishop of Agen .

Monviel Castle

The castle was rebuilt on the site of the medieval castle in the first half of the 17th century for Jean-Louis de Vassal de la Tourrette, Seigneur von Monviel. It was originally built on a U-shaped plan with two wings flanking the courtyard. The left wing and an entrance portal were demolished at the end of the 19th century. At the end of the 20th century the building was restored and converted into a luxury hotel.
