Culture and History

The architectural heritage of La Chapelle-Faucher includes the Notre-Dame church, which was largely built in the 12th century and preserves six carved Romanesque capitals.

The Château de la Chapelle-Faucher was partially destroyed in 1369. At the end of the 15th century, a residential wing and an octagonal tower were built between two surviving round towers. The Château de la Chapelle-Faucher is partly listed and classified as a protected historic monument.

The Prieuré de Notre-Dame de Puymartin was a commandery of the Order of St John and was incorporated into the commandery of La Roche Saint-Paul in 1373. The priory includes a single-nave church, a side chapel, a square tower with a spiral staircase, as well as sculpted figures on the portal and façade. The ruins of the Prieuré de Notre-Dame de Puymartin are protected as a historic monument.

The Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church was formerly the chapel of a 12th-century Benedictine priory. Its interior is covered with wall paintings protected by a layer of plaster.

The Église du Petit Jumilhac is a former Templar church and a Romanesque chapel with a rounded apse. Its exterior corbels depict human heads.
