The Romanesque Church of Saint-Jacques was built in the 12th century and originally served as a chapel for the neighbouring château. It is located along the routes to Santiago de Compostela and formerly welcomed pilgrims travelling to Spain. Today, it is the only surviving testament to the former splendour of the Barony of Castelnau.
Culture
The Lavoir de Landiran, a washhouse, features a construction in which steel posts are combined with a wooden, openwork gable. The Lavoir des Seigneurs was probably associated with the former seigneurial château. Its paved basin can be reached from the street via steps.
The Maison de la Mémoire partagée et des Combattants was opened in 2022 as a municipal facility dedicated to preserving collective memory. It presents permanent and temporary exhibitions about the wars of 1914–1918 and 1939–1945, the Algerian and Indochina wars, deportation, and other more recent conflicts. The Salon du Livre Jeunesse et du Jeu takes place every year in November.
