Along the river stands the chapel of Saint Michel d'Anesca (de la Nesque), a Romanesque building restored in 1643.
Rectangular in shape, this chapel has a tiled roof with two slopes and three rows of spandrels, which protects it from run-off. It consists of a short triangular nave and a semicircular apse with a cul-de-four vault. On the wall, one can make out decorative carvings dating from the time of its construction.
