Among the oldest in the region, the Saint-Cybard church in Porcheresse was built in the 11th century. It is still surrounded by its cemetery and presbytery, which is one of its distinctive features. The church shares similarities with churches in the area (Etriac, Puypéroux, Bécheresse, and Côteaux du Blanzacais). It features narrow windows pierced in the buttresses, as well as rubble stone walls. In the 12th century, it was remodeled and reinforced to accommodate vaults. However, the building's condition currently prohibits visits; renovation work is planned for the very near future. This monument was listed as a "Historic Monument" in 1913. The church's patron saint was the monk Cybard, who came from Dordogne in the 6th century. He lived for a long time in a cave beneath the Angoulême plateau.
