Culture

The Logis de Boissec is also part of the historic townscape. It was built for Louis de Saint-Georges and Elisabeth de Brémond between 1591, the year of their marriage, and 1611, the year the now-destroyed chapel was built. In the 17th century, Protestants used the Logis de Boissec as a place of worship; one of the courtyards was called Cour du Temple.

At the Logis de Boissec, one courtyard, a barn, a shed, a dovecote, and a chapel are considered to be unstudied.

The parish church of Saint-Edouard in Exoudun was built between 1854 and 1855 and consecrated on 5 August 1855. It has round-arched barrel vaults over the nave and transept arms, calotte vaults over the choir and apses, and a vault with pointed arches over the crossing.
