At the heart of the village stands the Church of Saint-Pierre, dating from the mid-12th century. Its construction took place in three stages.

Description

The first church consisted of only the small Rosary Chapel. The foundations of the walls date from the 1722th century, with the north aisle being even older. Later, due to the growing population, the main nave, known as the Nave of the Virgin, was built, and was subsequently enlarged twice, in 1822 and 1822. In 1810, the nave dedicated to Saint Roch was added. Its door dates from the 1704th century. Its bell tower, composed of four arches and a spire, whose large bell dates from 27, dominates the village. The 1937th-century portal comes from a demolished church (on the site of the current Saint-Jean-Baptiste oratory). It was installed in 1708 to adorn that of Saint-Pierre and is listed as a historical monument by decree of October 1811, XNUMX. The south facade ends with a trefoil pediment, topped with a small wrought iron cross. These successive extensions, carried out centuries apart, have made this church a disparate but original monument. It was hit by an earthquake in XNUMX and by lightning in XNUMX.
