Culture and History
The Eglise de la Chapelle-Morthemer dates from the 12th century and is partially protected as a Monument historique. In Morthemer, the Église Notre-Dame was classified as a Monument historique in 1908. The Château de Morthemer, a fortress consisting of a donjon and a rectangular building known as the “small castle”, adjoins its nave.
In Saint-Martin-la-Rivière, the Église de Saint-Martin-la-Rivière is neo-Gothic and has replaced the former Romanesque church since 1896. Its series of stained-glass windows was produced by the DAGRAND workshops. In Salles-en-Toulon, the Église Saint-Hilaire de Salles-en-Toulon was built in the 12th century; its most recent restoration highlights Romanesque sculptural elements on the west façade.
