In the heart of La Châtre stands the Église Saint-Germain. Graceful, but with a past that has literally collapsed. In 1896, the bell tower collapsed, dragging the entire church down with it. What you see now is a rebirth in stone. Step back in the square for a moment, look up at the new tower, and imagine the chaos of that time. Inside, the stained-glass windows bathe the light in warm hues, as if the church itself is trying to say, "I'm here again."

Located on a rocky outcrop, the castle of Cluis-Dessous occupied a strategic position. In the 12th century, the keep is the oldest part of the building. The curtain wall, slightly more recent (12th-13th century), is typical of Plantagenêt architecture. The house, which dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, is only partially preserved.
