Rather low Romanesque church, mentioned in the 19th century as belonging to the diocese of Clermont, patronage of Saint loup, dependent on the Chaise-Dieu.
Building with a single nave of three bays and a semicircular apse dating partly from the Romanesque period, with a door with an archivolt decorated with floral motifs and leaves with medieval hinges.
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.
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.
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.
