History and architecture
Lacenne was founded as a bastide in 1283 by the King of England and the Abbot of Pérignac. The bastide of Lacenne was built near a church that had been erected on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa.
The first bay and two side chapels forming a transept of the Saint-Cybar de Sembas church were built at the beginning of the 16th century. The apse of the church appears to date from the Middle Ages.
The Maison forte de Lassalle is dated to the late 13th or early 14th century based on the place name La Salle and the masonry. It has a masonry-built well that provides protected access to the spring at a lower level.
The Château de Lacenne is arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a residential building at the rear. Access was through a dovecote gateway that has since been demolished.
