The Romanesque church
The church is very simple, it shows that, at that time, the inhabitants were quite modests. Once again, we can see grotesque characters or frightening animals heads under the roof. The church tower looks like the one of Saint-Etienne-la-Geneste. Inside there is granite stoup from the XIV° century, somes statues of Saint-Roch and a virgin from the XVII° century. The church is classified as an historic monument.

The castle of Anglard
It was the place where the Anglard family was living. They decided to build this castle on a rock droping vertically into the Dordogne. The rock face towers 250 meters above the river. The castle is made up of a square keep, the only original part, and a circular tower, whose door has a badge (see picture on the right), dating from the XV° century. It is an impressive site because it has big ravines and an underground passage. Today, the castle of Anglards receives summer camps, as it belongs to the R.A.T.P.
