OT du Migennois

The porch of the 16th century flanked by two turrets, the fire mouths and the possible traces of a drawbridge authenticate a construction with a defensive purpose. Four wall paintings and one liter of funerary vestment bear witness to the modes of belief of the time.

The Church of Saint-Pancrace, listed as a historical monument and dating from the 12th century, is a rural building built on the hillside. The 16th century porch, flanked by two turrets, has a unique layout in the area. Fire hydrants and possible traces of a drawbridge authenticate a defensive construction. Four murals (from the 15th and 16th centuries) and an armoiried funeral liter testify to the beliefs of the time.
