A unique building in Europe, the Veyrac dovecote bridge was built on the Glanet in the 17th century and depended on an old castle. Comprising five arches, it is built on two levels. The first level provided access to the left bank on which the castle orchard was located. The second level was the dovecote, entered through a trap door.

The Château de Cognac La Forêt has been the site of a castle since the 11th century, it is believed, after foundations were discovered under the present building in 1970. The present castle consists of two distinct styles, a round tower and a square tower, which are not thought to have been built at the same time.
