Built within the walls of the citadel, the Sainte-Croix church and its chapel date back to the 11th century. A new church was probably built around 1140 and then enlarged at the end of the 12th century. The western façade was rebuilt in 1750 with stones from the castle. Major restoration work took place between 1852 and 1855.
The first mention of St. Paul's church dates from 1070 in a deed of gift to the Benedictine abbey of St. Paul de Cormery. The nave burned down in 1568, during the Wars of Religion. The chevet collapsed in 1747 so that today only the façade remains.
The church of St. Laurent has undergone numerous transformations. All that remains of the original church are the flat sculptures on the façade. The 11th-century porch tower was rebuilt and topped with a spire in 1870. The north side nave (three flamboyant gothic bays) and the stained glass window in the apse date from the 15th century. A fire broke out on 17 December 2014, destroying the 17th-century altarpiece.
This Romanesque church was the chapel of a castle that has now disappeared. Renovated in 2009, part of its stained glass windows is contemporary while the rest is period.
