Built in the aftermath of the Great War by the Limousin architects Jouhaud de Verdier and Moreau, the monument was partly financed by the sale of the former presbytery. Sober and classical, it is entirely cut in granite and measures 4.33 metres. The obelisk is adorned with a cast iron palmette and a laurel wreath, symbols of victory, heroism and sacrifice, and a sword evoking bravery and power. Forty-six names are engraved on a marble plaque, and four others after the war of 39-45.
