The Church of Saint-Saturnin de Tanzac was built in the 12th century, while its nave was rebuilt in the 17th century. The church as a whole is protected as a Monument historique; it was listed on 24 January 1958.

The Church of Saint-Saturnin de Tanzac is decorated with remarkable wall paintings from the late 13th to early 14th century in the apsidiole of the transept. They depict the Tetramorph as a symbolic representation of the four Evangelists accompanying Christ in his glory.

The local commemorative landscape also includes a war memorial erected in 1920. It commemorates the soldiers who fell in the First World War; 18 names are engraved on it.
