The church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens was built on the site of a former feudal castle in the 11th century, which then occupied the heights of the village. The only vestige of this building is the castral chapel (chapelle de la Vierge), which remains in the left part of the transept. This Latin cross-shaped building features a 15th-century nave and four-bay side aisles with rib vaults. The choir, with its flat chevet, dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and features capitals with large acanthus leaves. A commemorative plaque indicates that the Saint-Joseph chapel, dating from 1652, was built at the expense of Claude Chrestien.
