Self-guided tour with information panel. The commune boasts the only listed "clocher tors" (twisted bell tower) in the entire Auvergne region. The original church (ISMH) was built at the end of the 12th century in the Romanesque style. The interior boasts fine capitals and a granite basin used as a holy-water font, set on 4 Romanesque capitals. MH. A Gothic-style chapel was added in the 16th century. The spire of the bell tower was struck by lightning in 1894, completely burning down and damaging the top of the tower. The tower was rebuilt in 1897 using timber that was too green and weak in cross-section. The type of framing used, combined with the weakness of the timbers, was certainly the main cause of the spire's rapid twisting.

Boussac-Bourg was formerly called Boussac the churches because of its peculiarity of having 2 churches, today known as the Saint-Martin Church and the Notre Dame Chapel. The two "twin" churches presented a curious disposition, built at the same time, parallel to each other. They were connected by a passage. It seems that the smallest, with a steeple, was at the parish; the other, larger and without steeple, was to be the church of the priory dependent on the Provost of Evaux. From these two churches there is, to the north, the most important, single nave, terminated by a narrower choir and a circular apse. The second is in ruins, the nave destroyed, the vaulted choir is on a square plan and supports the steeple. Inside, there are important remains of superimposed frescoes from the 12th-13th century and the 15th century.
