When the wooden chapel, built in 1921, was no longer big enough (despite an expansion in 1927), a larger stone church was built. The project was spearheaded by a priest, Father Jean Baptiste Lapeyre. The first stone was laid in December 1957, and the church was inaugurated on 6 August 1961. In 1987, the church was renovated and a gallery was installed along with a mobile partition wall. The west entrance was remodelled, a square was paved on the south side, and an additional room was built. The remodelling was finished on 22 April 1988.

Historical monument, state property.

This 13th century castle features a two-storey main building, framed by two towers on the facade. The south tower (on the left from the gate) was originally used as a prison. It was also surrounded by a moat and a surrounding wall. In the 17th century, the mullioned windows of the façade were opened and side buildings were attached to the main body forming with it the entrance courtyard. It was then that Jean de Caupos, who became Viscount of Biscarrosse, renovated the building, giving it the appearance it has today. The 17th and 18th century stone fireplaces have been preserved. A large avenue of poplars offers a view of the lake. Memories of witnesses, now disappeared, evoke a subterranean passage linking the base of the former north-west tower with the wooded dunes beyond the small lake. This castle cannot be visited.
