Culture

The Château de Chazotte was built at the beginning of the 17th century on the site of a 14th-century manor house and follows the design principles of Renaissance architecture. Its façades, roofs, entrance gate and door were added to France’s supplementary inventory of historic monuments in 1981.

A feudal castle, probably built in the 14th century, stands in the centre of the village. The village church of Arlebosc was built in 1845 in the neo-Romanesque style, with round arches and a square bell tower. In 1890, frescoes and stained-glass windows by the glass artist Koch on the theme of the Eucharist were added.

The Museum of Sacred Art is located in the private chapel of the de Chazotte family, which opens onto the church choir. It displays liturgical vestments and other religious objects. Visiting the church and museum is free; according to the information available, the church is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. all year round.
