Dignac: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Dignac is home to the Church of Saint Cybard, which dates from the 12th century. Its square, single-storey bell tower is decorated on each side with three round arches on small columns and two paired openings. The church contains paintings from the 12th century as well as two carved wooden altars from the 17th century.

The Church of Saint Sulpice in Cloulas has two finely carved door openings, each with two archivolts, and an arcade bell tower with two openings and a bell. It also contains a 15th-century funerary arcosolium dedicated to Saint Anthony, with heavily damaged paintings. A stone altar and a stone holy-water font are presumably original.

The Château de la Tour du Breuil includes a chapel with remnants of frescoes from the early 15th century or possibly the 14th century. The square keep of the Château de la Tour du Breuil in Dignac may date from the late 14th or early 15th century. The keep and the interior of the chapel decorated with murals have been partially protected as historic monuments by a decree of 23 December 1964.
