Culture and history
In the heart of the old village stands the Château du Fort-villageois, which was extended in the 15th century. The château, also known as the Presbytère, is the only visible remnant of the former fortified complex, known as the barry, which once housed the old village.
The present-day church of Saint-Pons was built in 1866 on the ground plan of a 12th-century church; its interior was restored between 1987 and 1992. The former silk mill in Rue de la Magnanerie operated from 1840 to 1884 and employed around thirty female spinners.
The Grande Fontaine was rebuilt in 1784. The village lavoir has three basins supplied by the overflow from the livestock watering troughs. The Association Saint-Pons Patrimoine owns two Lemichel-Hebesiphons and is looking for spare parts to restore them.
Local life
The Saint-Pons-la-Calm market takes place from 23 October 2025 to 31 December 2027, on Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m., under the old market halls; visitors can meet local producers there.
