The origins of the church of Notre-Dame d'Arzenc-d'Apcher go back to the origins of the eponymous castle. The two buildings were built at the end of the 12th century and separated by an artificial ditch Of Romanesque construction, it is identified with the churches of Aubrac by its bell-tower-comb built in the 18th century.
The church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption was built at the same time as the first tower of the castle of Arzenc-d'Apcher, at the end of the 12th century. However, it does not look the same nowadays, as a result of several renovations and extensions over the following centuries. The church is located on the outskirts of the castle, isolated by an artificial ditch. Romanesque in style, it has a chevet dating from the beginning of the 13th century, built of medium-sized granite stones. Typical of the Aubrac Highlands region, the church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption has a two-bay bell tower, built in the 18th century. Inside, the sobriety and homogeneity of the Romanesque style dominate around a 14th century choir. One of the two side chapels has remarkable vestiges of the church's seigniorial past, such as a keystone with the Apcher coat of arms.
