The church of Sainte-Madeleine de Planchamp was built in 1905 thanks to the generosity of Frederic Barrot, on the site of an older church.
Its neo-Gothic construction seems obvious at first glance, with its slender façade finished with a spire, but some elements show a certain taste for the neo-Romanesque with the porch in a barrel vault, housing a portal with three barrel vaults
Inside, the whole is neo-Gothic style with the single barrel-vaulted nave, the semi-circular arches of the side chapels and the semi-circular apse decorated with a semi-circular arch, whose column capitals are carved with foliage.
The high altar, which seems to come from the old building, is richly decorated (scarves holding the medallion in which the Lamb of God appears, cherubs, niches housing statues of saints) and is topped by a canopy with draperies held by angels, which gives it a baroque look.
