Culture
The Sainte-Radegonde church was first mentioned in 1152; its surviving Romanesque apse may date from the second half of the 12th century. From 1873 to 1875, the church was rebuilt, with its old apse retained as the entrance portal. The bell tower was added from 1885 to 1888. The apse is semicircular and features a domed vault; sculpted capitals have also been preserved.
The church houses the reliquary of Saint Loup, containing relics ex ossibus of Saint Loup. The neo-Gothic, mass-produced reliquary may date from the late 19th or early 20th century. At Château de Bargade, the main construction phase is dated to the first half of the 14th century; a construction phase in the 19th century is also listed.
