    It was in the 12th century that the church of Saint Césaire was built. It is a Saintonge Romanesque style church.

      A particularity is located in the gallery of arcature which overhangs the portal. Indeed it has three arched windows on one side of the central window and two semicircular on the other. Note that the two bays on the right occupy the same width as the three on the left.
      The bell tower, like many others in the region, has a pyramidal roof. Simple columns come to partition the two windows which cover each face.

      Inside the church, archival documents prove that the nave with two bays was originally vaulted with warheads. Unfortunately, this vault was destroyed during religious wars.

      Still according to archival documents, it would seem that at the beginning of the 20th century, a narthex, where the catechumens were held, leaned on its facade. Today, it has completely disappeared.

      The church was classified as a historic monument in 1913. The building underwent a complete restoration in 1935.

      To admire just next to the church a magnificent and majestic period residence.
