Chapelle Saint-Benoît

The chapel of Saint-Benoît was the chapel of the convent of the Ladies of Saint-Benoît founded in 1645. The convent was seized as national property in 1790. It was used as a fodder warehouse and later as a theatre by the municipality. In 1826, the chapel was set up as an emergency chapel, but it was effectively returned to worship in 1839 after restoration. The former conventual buildings were transformed to house the sub-prefecture of Marmande.

Church of Notre-Dame

This rather massive church has a Romanesque nave ending in the east with a semicircular apse; the north aisle was added in the 16th century. The interest of this church lies especially in the choir where the Romanesque capitals represent, in the south, Daniel then animals and a frustres character; in the north, the Temptation with the tree, the snake, Eve, Adam, a dressed character (God?) and a bird. The whole testifies to a rich repertoire of motifs that are innovative compared to what was being done in the kingdom at the same time.
