Stunning, on a hillside: it was once fortified; you can still imagine it today with the sanctuary that was the chapel of the fortified castle. Also worth noting are the 3 copper dials (each measuring 4 m²) in the single-needle bell tower, which is rather rare and often leads strangers to think that the clock is not on time.|The church has two types of architecture: a Romanesque choir dating from the 13th century, vaulted over a ribbed cross and finished with a flat chevet. It therefore corresponds to the former chapel of the fortified castle. The rest of the building, rebuilt in the 18th century in the Gothic style, has a nave covered with barrel vaults and side aisles covered with cross vaults. It has been listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques since 30 January 1996.
