Culture and History
The Château de Geay was partially listed as a historic monument on 31 December 1986. The protected parts include the façades, roofs, the staircase of the main residential building, a ground-floor fireplace and the dovecote complex. The château is privately owned and is not open to visitors.
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Geay is considered one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in the Saintonge region. It has a deep polygonal choir with three superimposed tiers of arcades. Traces on the outside of its apse indicate a painted mourning band; this arrangement is unusual.
