Culture and History
The castle in Sausses is a large building with a square floor plan, several storeys, and painted façade decorations. The Church of Saint-Pons has a three-bay nave, an apse of the same width but lower in height, a bell tower at the southeast corner, and a sacristy built onto the east wall of the apse. The Church of Saint-Pons was extended in 1807 and converted into a parish church.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame stands partly on the site of the former parish church of Sausses, which was abandoned after the construction of the present Church of Saint-Pons in 1807. The Chapelle Notre-Dame is a small single-nave chapel with a groin vault.
