Named in 1154, she still has her th-century Romanesque bedside, arched in the oven and accompanied by her full straight arched stretch. The axis window is decorated with a lava cord in the way of the lombards maçons. In the th century, the Romanesque nave was destroyed to build a new one, with columns in the spirit of the time. The th century tower contains two th bells - classified as historic monuments. See, a Roman cippe - small burial stele - reused as cross support.

Château la Ribauté. The first construction dates back to the th century as evidenced by a Romanesque geminate window. Its originality lies in the fact that it is one of the few castles that has not been profoundly reworked during the century of Gold in the Biterroise wine, also has preserved a typical Languedoc character, while remaining a witness to the local evolution of the styles between Renaissance and modern times. He has kept his small castrale chapel on his side and has an element of altarpiece altarpiece.

It is called the golden chapel. All you have to do is admire the old golden panelling to the gold leaf to understand! Originally it is a pilgrimage chapel dedicated to the Virgin. Then the building underwent numerous renovations. Today it has baroque decor of the th century, th century and th century. More or less well preserved unfortunately. A historic monument, this sumptuous basilica, located at 930 metres above sea level, received in 1807 the visit of the Queen of Holland Hortense of Beauharnais, the mother of Napoleon III, thanks to which the Golden Madonna was made to worship. It also offers the particularity of being carved in the rock of the mountain, making it even more sumptuous and impressive. Pilgrimages are organized in August and September, but the chapel unfortunately remains too unknown. If you stay on the side of Arrens, it is worth visiting.
