History keeps us in the heart of the 13th century. Here we are in front of the Château de Bonnes.It is currently built on the foundations of the medieval castle which was the seigneurial seat of the Lambert family for six centuries, from the eleventh to the sixteenth century, sometimes in the domain of the King of France, sometimes under the British crown. At first glance one does not imagine that it was a very large and beautiful castle, with a prestigious history, having been a jewel of La Marthonie, Pompadour and d'Esparbès de Lussan d'Aubeterre, counts of Bonnes, that it was the home of a close friend of François I, of a Marshal of France, of famous Lieutenants General of the King. Shortly after the end of the Hundred Years War, an heiress of Lambert, Jeanne de Camblezac, married Robert de La Marthonie, and the castle was almost entirely rebuilt in the Renaissance style. This family of La Marthonie, which included several powerful figures of the Kingdom, left traces of their power as well as artistic vestiges throughout the Dronne basin, including the famous castle of Puyguilhem, built by the brother of Robert de La Marthonie .

The church of Saint-Pierre and Sainte-Radegonde was built at the end of the 12th century, beginning of the 13th. It has many elements dating from the Renaissance (chapels, portal, bell tower, bell), which is one of the major interests of the building.The two chapels, the bell tower and the façade were built in the first half of the 16th century. The church has a bell dating from the 16th century, which makes it one of the oldest in the department. In the choir of the church is a beautiful wooden altarpiece, dating from the 18th century and protected as a Historic Monument. It is adorned with three painted canvases depicting Saint Peter, Saint Radegonde and the Annunciation.
