The 13th-century church in Lannes is remarkable for its three-story pyramidal bell tower with five bell openings, at the foot of which the church opens onto a Romanesque portal classified as a Historic Monument. It has been dedicated to the Virgin Mary since the 11th century. The nave has a barrel vaulted ceiling and the choir is semi-circular. The current entrance is through a porch.
Worth seeing: on the exterior wall of the choir, a mason's mark in the shape of a small hammer.
Visit La Grangerie, a property established in a former Premonstratensian monastery. The wine cellar is located in the monks' former chapel. Remains of the cloister and buildings from the 17th/18th centuries await you.
