Romanesque church fortified in the 14th century during the Hundred Years' War. The bell tower is imposing, and the oldest parts are located at the base of the side walls, the semicircular apse, and the façade. The rectangular bell tower is pierced by two lintel openings on each side. Powerful buttresses surround the building; one of the two on the façade is higher because it supports the bell tower staircase. The three-bay nave is lit by narrow, ribbed-vaulted windows. https://chateauruine.fr/16-eglise-fortifiee-fouquebrune.html

Church located near the cemetery. It is a Romanesque church, pierced by an ogival door on important corner buttresses. Rebuilt in the 15th century, it was restored from 1656 to 1668, then in 1830. Two side chapels were added, and an arcade bell tower on the facade. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juillaguet

The Notre-Dame de Charmant church dates from the end of the 11th century. It is Romanesque and has a remarkable bell tower, in an octagonal pyramid. This bell tower, destroyed by a storm, was rebuilt in 1843. Inside, some beautiful murals remain, including one of the Assumption. Two crosses pattées sculpted on its facade to the left of the portal may suggest that it was a Templar possession in the 13th century. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Notre-Dame_de_Charmant https://monumentum.fr/monument-historique/pa00104282/boisne-la-tude-eglise-notre-dame

The title suggests an unusual village; it is not. It is an isolated village composed of old houses without any particular style. In my eyes, the only points of interest are the church (which you can't walk around and which doesn't offer much in terms of its exterior facade), the chapel near the cemetery (very basic, you just walk around it without leaving more cultured) and the castle which offers accommodation as a bed and breakfast. The village as a whole is not essential, like the town hall building: bland, aged with a poorly preserved authenticity.

The ruins of the Château de la Tour-Blanche dominate the village to the east and peak at 150 m. All that remains of the fortified castle is a large square tower built in white stone, a curtain wall and a secondary tower built on a mound probably replacing a wooden fort The Wars of Religion were fatal to the castle in 1569 and during the siege of the city in 1652 during the Fronde. The castle was confiscated and sold as national property in 1794. The ruins of the castle have been classified as historical monuments since November 20, 1906 During the night of October 11 to 12, 2015, a fire destroyed the entire inhabited part of the south wing, causing one death

A small Charentais village with nothing in particular until we discover the "priest's garden", a garden maintained and preserved by the inhabitants around the church.

Cluzeaux are shelters made by man in the rock. They are typical of Périgord. In the village of Argentina, perched on a rocky spur above the Nizonne valley, we find some dating from the Middle Ages. Grain silos, but also a huge necropolis have been built there. The site, free to access and very impressive, can be visited all year round.
