Built in the 13th century on a rock overlooking the town of Bourbon-l'Archambault, this castle controlled the ancient roads. It was the first castle of the Bourbon dynasty. It will remain a "symbolic building" of the family's power.

This church, built at the end of the 11th century in the Cluniac Romanesque style, has been extensively remodeled over the centuries. The nave is preceded by a narthex, on the left of which opens a baptistery, very rare in the Lévis region. The building is topped by a square 15th-century bell tower adorned with a modillion cornice. A carved wooden pulpit from the late 16th century and a Baroque high altar in carved and gilded wood from the early 17th century constitute quality furnishings. A beautiful statuette from the 15th or 16th centuries depicts the Virgin Mary receiving instruction from Saint Anne. The Stations of the Cross (14 paintings by J. Missé, a contemporary sculptor) are also featured.
