Ruins of the 12th century feudal castle on a rocky spur overlooking the valley.

Heritage Contensousas Mill The mill was built around 1860 by the Contensousas family. Once thatched, the mill operated year-round, meeting the family's flour needs. The precious grains stored in the granaries were brought down to the mill by oxback. The water released from the sluice powered the mechanism. The rye flour was used to make bread pies and the buckwheat flour for tourtous (cakes). The mill stopped operating in 1950.

In this land of water, mills appeared in the Middle Ages. By the 19th century, Corrèze had hundreds of them. Modest in size, the mills were located on small waterways. The river was diverted by a canal (the millrace) to a reservoir (the étanchade) located above the mill. Its operation was simple and ingenious: a horizontal wooden spoon wheel, placed under the mill, drove the millstone running on the fixed millstone to grind rye and buckwheat.
