Less than a century ago, every commune in France erected a monument in honor of the soldiers who fell for France during the World War from 1914 to 1918, whose armistice is celebrated on November 11. The municipality of Montel has not deviated from the rule, the monument to the dead erects its cenotaph on the square opposite the church, surmounted by a statue of a soldier carrying high the laurel of peace.

According to tradition, the church was built by Guillaume Aubert, lord of Montel-de-Gélat, at the request of his brother, who died in 1362. This 14th-century building consists of a nave without aisles, a three-sided choir and two side chapels from the 15th century forming a false transept. The most constructed element is the main portal with a series of arcades falling on small columns with capitals composed of several heads and floral motifs. The bell tower was added in modern times.

Via this pedestrian bridge you cross a side arm of the Etang de Chancelade, from the bridge you also have a nice overview of the lake.
