Built during the second half of the 18th century, this mill ceased operation at the end of the 19th century. It served as an observation post for occupying troops from 1940 to 1941, and as a fire detection watchtower from 1973. While its ground floor provides welcome shelter from the weather, its viewpoint is only open to the west, and for a short time, its northern view being blocked by the new fir shoots, which will inevitably surround it completely.

Saint-Étienne Church in Courgeac, in Charente, is a 12th-century Romanesque church composed of a single nave made of small cubic rubble (early 12th century), with a barrel vault, a square ribbed vault topped by a rectangular bell tower, and a semicircular Romanesque apse with a cul-de-four vault. In the 15th and 16th centuries, a porch was built in front of the nave and covered with frescoes. Above the apse, an upper chamber was built, probably during the Wars of Religion, for defensive purposes, including a battlement and gun ports. The church displays the architecture typical of modest churches of the early Romanesque period. You must enter the cemetery to get a full view. http://chapiteaux.free.fr/TXT_COURGEAC_16.html https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Attraction_Review-g1932328-d27157425-Reviews-Eglise_Saint_Etienne_a_Courgeac-Montmoreau_Saint_Cybard_Charente_Nouvelle_Aquit.html

Primitive in style, built in the 11th or 12th century, the Saint-Eutrope church was built on the site of a previous place of worship. It was first a perpetual vicariate dependent on the abbey of Cluny. The building was restored and modified at the end of the 19th century by the architect Paul Abadie who mainly had the bell tower remodeled by adding a second floor, consisting on each side of three bays with two arches on a straight foot and topped with a fairly high pyramidal spire. It has a wooden frame covered in slate. Shortly before the storm of 1999, some work was carried out in order to restore its former character, in particular the unvaulted nave, thus revealing the original wooden frame. This work made it possible to uncover a small door leading to the outside located to the left of the nave and near the choir. Door that can be found in many Romanesque churches (such as the church of Montmoreau). The location of these doors is said to evoke the lance thrust to the heart that Christ received on the cross. This opening was transformed into a niche to house the statue of the Virgin and Child Jesus. The bell tower houses two bells: the first weighs 110 kg and dates from 1725, the second weighs 375 kg and dates from 1890. The exterior staircase leading to the bell tower is very special. It is of the self-supporting type: that is to say that each step sealed in the wall rests partially on the previous one. There are two other staircases of this type in the town. https://www.montmoreau.fr/index-module-orki-page-view-id-115.html

The extraordinary history of this grandiose residence began in 1924, in the heart of a small 19th century manor (to the left of the current façade): the troubadour castel of La Mercerie was then acquired by Alphonse and Raymond Réthoré. From then on, the two brothers, dreaming of the great Versailles, devoted all their resources to enlarging and embellishing the building. The work undertaken is commensurate with the ambition that drives it. Outside, colonnades and balusters in white stone soon extend the first building. the cut stone increases the gigantism and the rigor of a facade with a perfect rhythm. Inside, nothing is too beautiful for La Mercerie, Raymond brings back from his travels furniture and paintings, chandeliers and precious woods, marbles from Italy, azulejos from Portugal etc. He returns from Italy with a painter sculptor who will carry out on the spot the most monumental decorations with the assistance of the inhabitants of the country. The treasures are piling up, but 30 years of work will not be enough to complete the colossal project. The collections are dispersed during auctions in June 1987. When the two brothers died, the castle fell into oblivion, until the mobilization of the inhabitants of the town, who decided to found an association to safeguard this unique and prestigious heritage. The Béruges room, the central living room, the Vernet living room, the vestibule, the mahogany gallery and the large Azulejos gallery, each more impressive than the last, now fully conquers the visitor eager for cultural discoveries. A short tour of the belvedere of the castle allows you to admire it from the height. In the park of the castle, the rose garden and the arboretum can be visited by little train. The little train is random due to the health context and will be reserved for people with reduced mobility and children, and mainly on Sundays.
