The path following the chateau de Mathécoulon leads to the delightful, Romanesque church of Montpeyroux. The apse is one of the most elegant of the area with its nine round arches and cornice with sculptured modillions.

The influence of Saintongeais Romanesque architecture is apparent in the apse and on the west façade where the portal is framed by blind arches. The church has a short, pointed, barrel-vaulted nave, a domed pre-chancel, a recessed choir and a semi-circular apse.
