A 15th chapel of rest at Jouhet has 16th century historical frescoes. On the left wall of the chapel is the legend of The Three Dead Kings. The chapel was declared of historic importance in 1908. The three kings legend dates from the end of the 13th century shows three kings or riders meeting three corpses and realising the inevitability of death. This theme is repeated three times in the frescoes of Antigny church.
Within the commune is the village of Rillé where the Polish underground liberation movement known as "Monika" operated. Towards the end of the war in 1944 they were very active and SOE agents landed here bringing money and supplies.
