Beautiful church in very green surroundings. Ship and choir have flat beamed ceiling, but the choir has previously had vault. The altarpiece is a Renaissance work from the beginning of the 1600s, with the Lord as the main motif and Isaac's sacrifice and the copper snake in the side wings. From a former altarpiece comes a figure of Saint Chrysogonus, who wears a cloak over the armor. The pulpit is from 1882 in a Renaissance / Baroque blending style. The baptismal font is a simple granite font. The organ is from 1882 and renovated by Marcussen & Søn in Aabenraa, most recently in December 2009-January 2010.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
