The Château de Rancogne, made up of four buildings arranged around a large square courtyard, was built in two stages; the main building dates from the enivrons of 1520, the rest including the keep with a high watchtower, was built around 1588-1589. At that time, we probably built the round tower covered with a pepperbox. The keep appearing isolated, addition of modern arcades to attach it to the main building, at the end of which a round tower looms little protruding. A low waterfall approaches the castle. This residence has been owned by the Desormeaux family since the end of the 18th century ...

Saint-Cybard Church in Pranzac

Highlight • Other

Among the rich heritage of the commune of Pranzac, there is the Saint-Cybard church and its Renaissance chapel whose pendant keystones are of a remarkable finish, listed in the inventory of historical monuments. Begun in the 12th century in the midst of Romanesque art, the church was enlarged in the 16th century, then restored in the 19th and 20th centuries.
An Italian organ found its place in the church in 2011, thanks to the will of the association "Les secrets de Pranzac", it comes to life thanks to the festival "Au gré des arts" organized each year.

Saint Paul's Church in Chazelles

Highlight • Other

12th century Romanesque church. The west facade has two buttresses rising to the top at its ends. Double buttresses correspond to the western pilasters of the dome and small ones are placed to the west of the nave, on the chapel and the apse. The rectangular bell tower has a first floor with arches, resting on a molded cordon. On another cordon, loaded with vertical billets, rises a second floor, the walls of which are pierced with rectangular openings. Inside, the nave has no vault. Its western and southern walls were dated back to the 17th century. Part of the pavement of the nave is made up of funerary slabs, bearing the representation of the working instruments of the deceased. A covered wooden chapel is supported to the north. It communicates with the nave by two wide arches. The false square, under the bell tower, carries a dome on horns, the departures of which rest on horizontal cords.

The Breuil Tower

Highlight • Castle

The tower was built in the 15th century. The keep is a strong square tower that may date from the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century. The defensive walls are made of cut stone. The machicolations are intact. Only the walkway is damaged to the east. Inside, the rooms and the original staircase no longer exist. The small chapel has remains of frescoes from the beginning of the 15th century or perhaps from the 14th (knight; Saint Michael; Saint Christopher; king; horsewoman...). The remains of the tower buildings were remodeled in the 19th century.
