            The parish church of Saint-Cybard Plassac is a Romanesque church of the twelfth century, typical of the most beautiful churches slippers. This is remarkable for its small chapel under the altar accessible by two interior staircases in the nave. This chapel is half buried as shown in the windows and skylights that allow natural light illumination of this sanctuary. It is also remarkable for its site, overlooking the valley, its facade, its steeple and nave, and also because it has not undergone any transformation.
Inside the crypt is a statue of the Virgin of Mercy carved stone, painted and gilded from the early seventeenth century.It rises in the meadows at the crossing of a Roman road linking Saintes to Lyon. The pilgrims who journeyed here from Compostela saw by far the conical stone tower covered with scales.
The facade organized around three series of arches topped by a simple gable.
Inside, the nave is followed by a false square covered by a cupola on pendants. The vaulted apse-dome is pierced with an off-center oculus that makes sun on the day of Saint-Cybard (July 1).
Note: the variety of sculptures, a wide headband metopes carved and chanted corbels decorated with human heads and animals runs through the apse.
The capitals are decorated with raptors or griffins faced, grimacing monsters tongue out in the manner of ancient sea fans.
