Lively small market town, with an arcaded market square

Majestic in its size and appearance, the Loubens mill is one of the most remarkable in the Entre-deux-Mers region. Its installation seems to date back to the 11th century. A square, medieval tower, built on an island, bears similarities to the Bagas mill located 2 km downstream. It includes three sets of millstones still in place. However, it is not a fortified building; it is a weir mill. To the north construction, a bridge with a double row of arches was added in the 18th century, containing two more pairs of millstones and a fulling mill (a machine used not for grinding grain, but for fulling textiles. These mills were often called "beating mills"). This southern part of the mill earned it the name "little Chenonceau". The mill has been classified as a Historic Monument since 2000.

Sauveterre-de-Guyenne is a bastide. A bastide is a type of French medieval town, founded in the 13th and 14th centuries, primarily in southwestern France. A bastide is characterized by a rectangular street pattern that divides the town into eight blocks around a central market square. The Treaty of Paris (1229) prohibited the building of walls around new towns. Many bastides were provided with some form of fortification, such as gates, after their founding to provide some protection during turbulent times. Most bastides had only local significance and did not develop into large towns. As a result, many bastides, such as that of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, have been preserved in their original state.
