Flamboyant Gothic in style, the Choiseul church contains Romanesque remains of the former priory (west portal, capitals, etc.). This medieval building was restored and enlarged with the addition of a transept and a new choir in 1489. The nave, with a south aisle, could date from the 13th century, but only the north wall remains from this period. The bell tower appears to date from after 1480, as the Choiseul coat of arms can be seen at its base, and this family left the seigneury for good at that time. The upper part of the tower was built just before 1489. Its spire was destroyed by fire in 1705. The north-west corner of the nave partly supports the bell tower crowned with a polygonal shingled spire. The partly projecting transept to the north is followed by a single-bay choir ending in a flat chevet. Baptismal font, 15th century. Virgin of Calvary, 16th century. High altar and tabernacle by Gerdolle, 1769. Funerary slabs with engraved effigies, 1565.
