The Beissat Bridge is a 13th century Gothic structure, listed as a historical monument by decree of 23 November 1970. The oldest mention of this bridge is the allusion to a transaction in 1470 relating to neighbouring mills. A toll on this bridge, probably in force for a long time, was closed in 1660.

The structure formerly linked Bellac to Le Dorat. It consists of four arches, the middle one being semicircular and the other three being pointed arches. The piers are very wide and the profile is humpbacked. The spurs have a very sharp acute angle. In 1567, Monsieur de La Messelière's company broke the bridge to stop the Huguenot army. It was certainly at this time that the semicircular arch was rebuilt.
