Culture

The Château de Castelnau houses a significant collection of furniture and works of art. The collegiate church of Castelnau was built from 1507 onwards and features the exterior architecture of southern French Gothic. It preserves a 17th-century retable and tabernacle, as well as carved wooden choir stalls from the Renaissance. Its south chapel contains a treasury, the centrepiece of which is a reliquary made of silver and gilded copper from the end of the 14th century, referred to as the arm of Saint Louis.
