Description

Saint-Laurent church, in the centre of the village, dates back to the 12th century, with a choir and bell tower built around 1200. Two chapels forming a transept and a sacristy were added in the 17th or 18th centuries. The nave, which is older, was remodelled with rib vaults and new bays in the 19th century. The bell tower also had its openings rebuilt at the beginning of the same century. Work was undertaken in 1783 following damage caused by lightning.

With a Latin cross floor plan, the building comprises a single nave preceded by a bell tower, a choir with two straight bays extended by a three-sided apse, and two chapels forming a false transept. The sacristy, located near the south chapel, blends in harmoniously with the rest of the building.

Built of limestone rubble with ashlar chains, the interior of the church is of exposed stone. The nave has a cement floor, while the choir has a Tournai stone floor. Ribbed vaults cover the main spaces, while the chapels have ceilings. The entire building is covered in slate: long-sloped roofs for the nave and choir, polygonal hipped roofs for the apse, and a square spire for the bell tower.
