An imposing 15th century medieval castle, which withstood the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, as well as the Revolution, it was saved from ruin by its current owner in 1982. This castle was the setting for George Sand's novel "The Miller of Angibault" under the name of Château de Blanchemont.

A truly impressive complex. Very well preserved and restored. You can visit the castle for a small fee. It is definitely worth it. Just for the view from the top floor

In this church, 3 drops of the blood of Jesus are kept as a relic. The church is built in an interesting way. With an octagon at the entrance
