A "second-hand" altar after a theft

Highlight • Other

The small church of Soubran probably replaced the old chapel of a very close castle. Castle and chapel disappeared, destroyed, one and the other, at the time of the wars of Religion.

Saint-Pierre Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This vast Romanesque-inspired construction was built from 1812 to 1821 to replace a medieval church. Finally, in 1994, the exterior was renovated and an access ramp for the disabled was installed on the south side.

Château de Montendre

Highlight • Castle

Montendre Castle rises on an eminence 114 meters high and dominates a vast panorama of moors, woods and meadows as well as the tight houses of the old town below. Its origin dates back to the Gallo-Roman era with the construction of a first oppidum in 52 BC. J-C.

The castle retains elements from various periods, including part of the enclosures, a round tower, a square tower, a guard room and underground passages. Since the beginning of the 2000s, each summer, international projects (Solidarités Jeunesses) have made it possible to gradually renovate the castle grounds and preserve this site, converted into a promenade.

The castle is open for visits from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Close on Sunday.
