This parish church stands out for its square bell tower, an unusual shape that gives the building a massive appearance. This is a characteristic feature of Romanesque churches, as at the time of its construction (late 13th century), methods were simpler and churches also had the role of protecting the population. That's why it's made of granite, a resistant material. Additions were made in the 15th century and again in 1940. So you'll find elements of Gothic architecture as well as more recent ones. It has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1987. Before you enter, take a look at the door, with its carvings copying those of a Renaissance door. Inside, you'll find a number of murals and a war memorial in one of the chapels.
