Culture
The Château de Montabert was built in 1862 on the site of a château built in the 18th century and destroyed by fire. There is evidence of an earlier château belonging to the Paillot De Montabert family dating from around 1730. Today, the Château de Montabert is a guesthouse surrounded by a 14-hectare blooming park with mature trees.
The Church of Saint-Martin was built in the 16th century; side aisles were added to the nave between 1879 and 1880. It stands in the centre of Montaulin on the Grande Rue. The church preserves furnishings that are partly classified as historic monuments, including a green silk stole from the 18th century. The painting “Les mystères de Rosaire” depicts the lives of Mary and Jesus in 15 episodes.
The Eglise Saint Jean-Baptiste, commonly known as the “église de Daudes”, is dedicated to John the Baptist and originally dates from the 12th century. It was altered in the 18th and 19th centuries and restored recently.
