The Eglise Saint-Saturnin is dedicated to Saint Saturnin, a martyr and the first bishop of Toulouse.
The Eglise Saint-Saturnin contains trompe-l’œil treasures painted in the Neo-Empire style by the Pedoya brothers, depicting the Evangelists and Apostles.
The church also preserves a liturgical treasure comprising a 17th-century processional cross, a thurible and an 18th-century altar cross, as well as sacred vessels from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
The Pigeonnier de Beillard is an octagonal dovecote dating from the 17th century and is protected as a Historic Monument.
Tours of the Pigeonnier de Beillard are available on request from the Office de Tourisme des Hauts Tolosans.
The Chapelle Saint-Dominique was built in 1973 by the owner of the property, who stated that he had received graces from the saint. An inscription recalls that Saint Dominic frequently visited the Premonstratensian canons of Notre-Dame de la Capelle in the 13th century.
Mass is celebrated in the Chapelle Saint-Dominique every year on 8 August.
