The town housed a castle in the 12th century when the lords of the town played an important political role in the region. Today, there remains the 16th century enclosure, which has been altered several times over the course of the wars. The park of the castle, raised and rich in stories, constitutes a place of rest and pleasant walk.

Also within the castle walls is the 11th-century Romanesque church of Notre-Dame de Surgères. The interior impresses with its sublime simplicity of light stone.
