History and Architectural Heritage
At the southern entrance to the town stands the Porte Wiridel, a preserved remnant of Montagrier’s fortifications. It was built as part of the defensive walls constructed in the 14th century.
The Église Sainte Madeleine also reflects the town’s ecclesiastical history. It was a priory dependent on Brantôme and has a three-lobed apse, a dome over the crossing of the transept, and a neo-Gothic bell tower.
The Chapelle Saint-Sicaire is a 19th-century reconstruction. It was built on the site of a priory belonging to Brantôme Abbey and contains two reused sculptures in its façade.
The Maison de la Dronne is housed in a former 12th-century grain mill that was converted into a power station in 1907. The wheel and turbine are still visible in the building; the grounds of the Maison de la Dronne are open free of charge all year round.
