On the Perthuis Churin site, the remains of the Sainte Magdeleine church date from the 13th century. The first religious building would have been built around the year 777 dedicated to Saint Magdeleine, patroness of Barbechat. Nearby is a Gallic Tumulus. Some writings speak of an earthen mausoleum under which the wife of a lieutenant of Julius Caesar would rest, others of an 11th century feudal motte serving as a place of surveillance to control the passage in the valley.
