Lussac

Built in the 12th century, the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre was largely altered in the 14th century before being destroyed at the end of the 16th century by Huguenot troops. The current building was completely restored at the end of the 19th century, now featuring an elegant spire bell tower.

Several castles take place on the territory of Lussac, starting with the castle of Lussac built in the second half of the 19th century in the heart of the village. Wine estate producing AOC Lussac - Saint-Émilion, the building is inspired by the architecture of classic buildings and also unveils two Renaissance-inspired wings. While strolling in the town, you can also admire the castle of Latour-Ségur, listed in the Historic Monuments, the castle of Bellevue, a wine estate of about fifteen hectares, or discover the ruins of an old Gallo-Roman villa, the villa of Luccius, which gave its name to the village.

A manor from the end of the 18th century, the wine house has held many functions over time, such as town hall, police station, house of justice or theater. The site is now home to the municipal wine union, offering tastings and promotional events for Lussac wines.

Fans will also be able to discover the 19th century double washhouse before strolling around the megalith of the Picampeau mound. The latter was once used as a place for Celtic sacrificial rites.

The weekly market takes place every Thursday morning.

On July 14, the town offers a popular ball and fireworks to celebrate the national holiday.
