Javarzay Castle, the most imposing of its time in Deux-Sèvres, was originally made up of 12 towers, two of which remain today.

The Montioux Tumulus is a burial site and is thought to have been built between 4000 and 3500 BC. A bone found has been dated between 3375 and 3855 BC.

This (former) church in Melle was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19). Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

The city is magnificent and its arboretum is worth a detour. https://mairie-melle.fr/tourisme-et-patrimoine/melle-ville-d-histoire/histoire-de-la-ville

St-Pierre is a profane Romanesque former priory church in Melle in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The three-nave church of St-Pierre is the third Romanesque church in Melle, next to St-Hilaire and St-Savinien. Despite its three ships, St-Pierre has no companion, but only a Hauptapsis with two Nebenapsiden, whose windows are elaborately surrounded from the outside with plastic decoration ribbons. The bays of the nave with its pointed barrel vaults are separated by heavy belt bows. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St-Pierre_%28Melle%29
