Culture and history
The Château de Blanquefort stands on a fortified rocky spur above the Briolance valley. The Château de Blanquefort preserves medieval structural elements, including a keep and a gate complex from the 13th century, as well as a tower with loopholes from the 15th century.
Further historical traces can be found in La Forge: a massive blast furnace, built in 1837, preserves the memory of its former use. La Forge also preserves a hydraulic installation connected to a neighbouring pond.
The nave of the Church of Saint-Eloi in Saint-Chaliès was rebuilt in the first quarter of the 16th century. The flat-ended choir of the Church of Saint-Eloi in Saint-Chaliès was probably built in the 12th century. The La Borie del Rey archaeological site revealed a sequence dating from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Neolithic.
