In 1814, not far from the church of Redon-Espic, a young shepherdess, Marie-Jeanne Grave, was tending her sheep. She was 14 years old when a lady appeared to him, all dressed in white, wearing shoes held up by blue ribbons and carrying a luminous cross around her neck. The virgin, who will appear to her a second time, asks her to return to the Christian life of her parents, sharecroppers of Mr. Chabannes, mayor of Bezenac, otherwise her father and mother will soon die. Dismissed by her parents and all those around her, she died on 24 November 1814. It was to the place of the apparitions that some of the faithful regularly went. The pilgrimage became an annual event in 1815, on September 8.

Old parish church, located in the cemetery. Formerly known as St. Clair's. Given in 1276 to Saint-Cyprien and became a priory. The choir is limited by two pointed arches with scrolls: the western one falls on piers with backsplashes, the eastern one on engaged columns with carved capitals. The cornice rests on eight modillions carved with animal masks. The apse is seven-sided on the outside, it is pierced by three bays. All around the church there is a cornice with naked modillions. Square bell tower above the choir.

The church in the forest. Nestling deep in the woods and close to a spring which today supplies Saint Cyprien, Castels and Bezenac. It appears to walkers as an abandoned vessel, discreet, bewitching in its green setting. Totally isolated, it is located on a curvilinear relief, hence perhaps its name Rotundo Spino, a rounded spur, unless it is a toponym evoking the broken brush, witness of a medieval clearing. An impression of serenity emanates from it. This building was restored in 2007. Friends visitors, respect this place.

The triumphal arch is in full coat hanger. In the 14th or 15th century, a bahut (with a defense chamber) was erected on the apse, which, although sitting on a semi-circle, is polygonal. The western façade is a bare rectangle, with a simple door under a pointed arch and an oculus. There is another ogival door to the south. The whole building is not made of regular material , but in rubble of sandstone.

The Romanesque choir of the church dates from either the 11th or 12th century. It might have replaced an even older place of worship dug into the rock. The nave and the cemetery were rebuilt in 1888 (construction of a bell tower with Tribune). The Altarpiece: listed in the inventory of Historical Buildings, this altarpiece comes from the abbey of Fongauffier which no longer exists.
