A simple but elegant war memorial in Blanzac-Porcheresse, located near the church.

Among the oldest in the region, the Saint-Cybard church in Porcheresse was built in the 11th century. It is still surrounded by its cemetery and presbytery, which is one of its distinctive features. The church shares similarities with churches in the area (Etriac, Puypéroux, Bécheresse, and Côteaux du Blanzacais). It features narrow windows pierced in the buttresses, as well as rubble stone walls. In the 12th century, it was remodeled and reinforced to accommodate vaults. However, the building's condition currently prohibits visits; renovation work is planned for the very near future. This monument was listed as a "Historic Monument" in 1913. The church's patron saint was the monk Cybard, who came from Dordogne in the 6th century. He lived for a long time in a cave beneath the Angoulême plateau. https://www.sudcharentetourisme.fr/fiche-sit/eglise-saint-cybard-de-porcheresse-5895303/#truncate https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Cybard_de_Porcheresse

Marie atypical and picturesque which is located in a former small manor beautifully restored. There is a lighted well placed in the center of its hall of honor. This town hall is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Charente. https://www.montmoreau.fr/index-module-orki-page-view-id-114.html

This is one of the six Romanesque churches in the new commune of Montmoreau. It is located in the heart of a very hilly landscape, perched on top of a hill, and offers a beautiful view of the center of Montmoreau. The construction of this Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century. At that time, it was a former vicarage of the diocese of Périgueux, dependent on the abbey of Nanteuil-en-Vallée. The nave now houses a set of well-preserved neo-Gothic furniture from the 19th century. There are a Stations of the Cross, a pulpit, and a painting of Saint-Amand (Bishop of Bordeaux in the 5th century). On the south wall of the nave, there are traces of a wall painting that is unfortunately very damaged, but one of the characters can still be distinguished: a light tonsured man. These remains are a reminder that religious buildings were generally painted in medieval times. The painted scenes covered the interior space, more the sanctuary, reserved for the religious, than the nave where the laity were confined. https://www.montmoreau.fr/index-module-orki-page-view-id-115.html
