La chapelle Saint-Michel

It was built in the 12th century on a fortified motte structure.

Built on a feudal motte, its foundations date back to the 11th century. Remodeled over time, it retains its Romanesque apse, the only evidence of 12th-century construction.

It was badly damaged during the battle of La Laupie in August 1944. Restored in 1953 and re-consecrated, it is listed on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments, and the surrounding site is protected.

Its history is inseparable from that of the old village, destroyed in August 1944 and deserted after the war. Its ruins were bought by a local family who undertook its reconstruction, turning it into a particularly harmonious place, with its 13th-century feudal castle, its line of ramparts, its shady, flower-filled lanes where you can admire mullioned windows, lintels, bull's-eyes...

It's a private estate, but the village is open to walkers with respect for its inhabitants.
