Langon has many vestiges of past centuries: Church of Notre-Dame du Bourg, dating from the 12th century, eight of whose capitals are on display at the Cloisters Museum in New York, Saint Gervais Church, beautiful period buildings. 282 hectares of the commune are now made up of vineyards.
Located between Langon and Bazas, the Château de Roquetaillade (private property) is an architectural ensemble made up of two fortified castles from the 12th and early 14th centuries. During the Renaissance, the castle was restored by the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc. Its furniture is listed as a historical monument.
At the gates of the castle La Métairie hosts a museum of rural life around 1850.
