Courcival Castle (private): The castle from the 17th is surrounded by a beautiful park where many tree species coexist. The exterior can be visited on weekends during the summer.
Church of St. Brice: Dominating the valley Tripoulain, it offers an exceptional panorama. The oldest part of the building is the north wall of the nave with two Romanesque windows of the eleventh. The bell tower seems to be the sixteenth, it has been used in the defense during the wars of religion. The church was rebuilt several times during the 100 Years War and the 19th with the creation of a vault in the north chapel and a tower outside. The staircase also dates from the nineteenth century. Inside the building you can admire a Madonna and Child 17th clay (classified) and a funerary inscription.
