The church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene, was originally the chapel of the counts of Razes, and was restored and redecorated 1887-97. The hill village is best known for the Abbe Berenger Sauniere, 1852-1917, a priest who is thought to have discovered treasure and led many building projects in the village with his mysterious wealth. The church is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
