The Church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul in Neuvic is a fascinating blend of Romanesque art and Gothic touches, built in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its Romanesque dome, adorned with a 19th-century apse, bears witness to the numerous restorations it has undergone, particularly in the 19th century. Damaged several times, notably during the Hundred Years' War, it retains a strong historical charm and a unique appearance. Inside, its 17th-century altarpiece is a small marvel to discover for lovers of sacred art.

Beauséjour Castle, built in 1340 by Cardinal Hélie de Talleyrand, proudly overlooks the Isle, like a guardian watching over the valley. This noble haven has survived the centuries and storms, burned down during the Fronde and then restored in the 17th century, it retains its silhouette steeped in history. It is said that it welcomed Henry IV during his warlike passage, and was for a long time the heart of the Duchy of Périgord, surrounded by mysteries and family legends. Now private.
