View of the medieval site of Bridiers

Highlight • Castle

It is the Bridiers Tower which makes this site famous. Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the site had a defensive function. It has been the subject of conservation since 1993 and excavations. These made it possible to discover the pentagonal fortress located at the foot of the tower.

There is no guided tour, but access to the site is free. Climbing the tower is organized by the municipality and requires a modest payment of two euros.

Porte Saint-Jean

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porte Saint-Jean is one of the old city gates of La Souterraine. What you see now is modest, but in the Middle Ages it was a serious entrance to the walled city.
Why it's nice:
This was literally the city's checkpoint. Anyone who wanted to enter was examined here.
The name probably refers to a nearby chapel or hospital of Saint-Jean.
You're essentially walking through a 13th-14th-century section here, without it being ostentatious.
What many people miss:
La Souterraine was an important stop on a side route of the pilgrimage route to Santiago. It's likely that pilgrims, traders, and soldiers passed through here centuries ago.

Church of Our Lady of La Souterraine

Highlight • Religious Site

The Notre-Dame de la Souterraine church was restored in the 19th century. It is distinguished by its underground crypt. The style of the granite building would have been influenced by the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela, La Souterraine being on the pilgrimage route.
