Eglise Saint Denis listed by order of 22 August 1949.
Old possession of the abbey of Saint-Denis to which it was first restored in 802 by Charlemagne, a second time in the 11th century to be part of the heritage of the priory of the Chapelaude. In the 16th century, passes among the outbuildings of the priory of Benevent, in Limousin. A Romanesque edifice originally composed of a single nave of two bays and a projecting trnsept on which opened a choir preceding a semicircular apse, flanked by a bell tower. The collateral dates back to modern times. The nave is currently finished by a frame, but originally, by a vault on doubleaux resting on the columns still in place in the side walls. The square bell tower is pierced on each side of its floor by two semicircular bays, each intersected by a colonnette and surmounted by a double cord of billets. The upper part, crowned with an arrow, dates back to the 17th century.
