Culture and History

The Church of Saint Médard was built in 1341 by the Bishop of Rodez as a chapel for the castle-like summer residence he had built there. It was partially rebuilt; on 5 August 1526, François d’Estaing authorised the work, which was to be financed through a voluntary taille tax.

The church in Moyrazès is a 16th-century Gothic building with a pentagonal choir. The Church of Saint Médard in Moyrazès is likewise a 16th-century Gothic building with a pentagonal choir.
