The choir of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin dates from the second half of the 15th century. The bell tower bears the date 1538 on a relief set into the portal. The building has a Latin cross plan. The two-bay single nave is followed by a projecting transept. The western façade features a tower-porch crowned with a polygonal slate spire. The choir consists of a straight bay and a three-sided apse covered by a six-quarter rib vault. There is a Eucharistic cupboard in the south-east side of the apse and the north side of the right bay is adjoined by the sacristy with its shed roof. Chapel with oculus and pool dating from the 16th century, listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques on 21 November 1925.
