The remains of an old Benedictine abbey, the Abbey Church of St.-Leger of Ébreuil boasts an imposing bell tower and contains splendid old murals and a magnificent 16th-century reliquary of St. Leger, made of wood and covered in silver-plated copper. Don't forget to look up the gallery, which is adorned with 12th-century frescoes depicting the martyrdom of St. Valerie and St. Pancras among other things. Also worth a look is the 15th-century mural illustrating St. George slaying the dragon, at the intersection of the transept.
