Vodable being a clunisian site, the church Saint Georges of the village was served by the clunisian monks of Sauxillanges until 1382 before passing then to the community of the priests of Ronzières.
The church is oriented and organized according to a longitudinal plan, the nave, covered with a gable roof, ends in an apse with a hipped roof. The western entrance facade or bell-tower-porch has four levels of elevation.
This castle was built during the Renaissance and bought by the State in 1937; we owe it to Rigaud d'Aureille, bailiff of the mountains of Auvergne and maitre d'hôtel of Louis XI, Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I. It reflects a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Former abbey of Mègemont, Cistercian abbey founded by the Counts of Auvergne in the 13th century (1274). Of the church, only the choir and the transept remain, in poor condition (the nave disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century). The monastery buildings retain rooms with vaulted arches and a room with stucco decorations.
The church is dedicated to Saint Flour, Bishop of Lodève. Its construction dates back to the 13th century. Its south portal and the two side chapels date from the 14th century. The bell tower was partially rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century.
