The Church of Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu includes sections whose construction dates from the 12th to the 19th centuries. It was built by the Benedictines of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure and was once used by a priory founded after 1115, dependent on the abbey. The dominant style of this fortified church is Romanesque. Its massive, square-based bell tower is imposing. The building boasts beautiful stained-glass windows and a remarkable organ case. The church was last restored in 1977. The Virgin of Mercy is an alabaster sculpture dating from the 16th century and is a listed historic monument.

The Pair-non-Pair Cave is a decorated cave, discovered in 1881, containing artistic representations dating back more than 32,000 years before the present, attributed to the Aurignacian culture. Listed as a historical monument since 1900, the cave is the third decorated cave discovered, after Altamira and Chabot Cave. Its study established the antiquity of the parietal engravings and officially recognized the prehistoric art. The cave, located in the commune of Prignac-et-Marcamps, is open only for guided tours. Booking a tour time online is required. The reception area, museum space, and shop are open from June 1st to September 30th, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. From October 1st to May 31st, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Closed on Mondays, January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th.

The commune is the result of the merger of three parishes: Prignac (on the road to Blaye), Marcamps (further north, on the hillsides above the Moron Valley), and Cazelle (further south, descending towards the Dordogne). The three churches still exist. In addition, there is the former chapel of the priory of Lurzine, not far from the village of Prignac. During the French Revolution, the parish of Saint-Pierre de Prignac formed the commune of Prignac, and its annex, Saint-Michel de Marcamps, formed the commune of Marcamps. The parish of Saint-Félix de Cazelles and its annex, Sainte-Quitterie de Magrigne, formed the commune of Cazelles. In the year 12, the commune of Cazelles was annexed to that of Prignac, which became Prignac-et-Cazelles. In 1965, the commune of Marcamps was annexed to that of Prignac-et-Cazelles, which became Prignac-et-Marcamps.

The commune takes its name from its Latin name, Blacciacum. A Gallo-Roman settlement is attested by the discovery of the remains of three Gallo-Roman villas, dating from the 1st to the 5th century AD. These remains were found near the current site of the church, not far from the Gironde. During the medieval period, the village's center of activity seems to have shifted to the heights overlooking the river. This is evidenced in particular by a hoard of Merovingian coins discovered around 1850 at a place called Montuzet (Mont des Yeuses). The lower Plassac region, around the port, was heavily involved in river and maritime activity in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Merchants and ocean-going captains settled in beautiful stone residences. This river activity gradually declined in the 20th century.

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the Dordogne River here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.
