St. Genes Church is a neo-gothic style church, built in the 19th century. It houses several paintings, including a Resurrection of Lazarus (listed as a Historic Monument -2005), painted in 1800 by the painter Sébastien Venet, probably donated by Duke Decazes. Near the western portal of the church, there is a cemetery cross (Historical Monument 1905), from the 16th century, resting on a three-stage step. The shaft is carved on each side of a statuette, placed under a curly kale embrace. These statuettes depict Saint Catherine, Saint Genes, patron saint of the parish, a woman playing a kind of viol and an abbot. In the cemetery is the tomb of Elie Decazes, duke and peer of France, who was a minister of Louis XVIII and founder of the Decazeville forges (Aveyron).
