Culture
The Église Saint-Nicolas has a main altarpiece created in 1806 by the Piedmontese sculptor Delponte, featuring a Baroque depiction. Saint Nicholas and Saint Joseph are depicted beneath the painting of the Assumption of Mary. The bell tower was rebuilt twenty years after being damaged in 1794, using the same architectural style, with an imperial roof and two domes.
The Chapelle Saint-Blaise-et-Saint-Guérin in Sangot already existed in 1594. The Chapelle Saint-Grat is probably the oldest chapel in the village. Traces indicate that it was used as a church in the late Middle Ages, before the development of the village. The Chapelle Saint-Sébastien dates from 1628 and is also known as the Chapelle de la Salette.
