Points of interest
Church of Saint-Martin de Mazerat
Listed as a historic monument since 1920. This small Romanesque Latin cross church was built at the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th centuries, and only became part of the parish of Saint-Emilion after the French Revolution in 1790. In the 16th century, the top floor of the church tower was demolished by the jurats of Saint Emilion to prevent the Protestants from using it as a fortress at the entrance to the predominantly Catholic town, and restored in 1975.
