This 12th-century Romanesque church stands at the top of the village.


The church features an apse in the shape of a cul-de-four, with a fine, medium-sized stonework, and a pointed-arch porch with extra-dossed keystones. The interior features a high altarpiece dedicated to Saint-Nicolas, a Saint-Sébastien altarpiece sculpted in 1525 (listed) with three panels in half-relief, and an altarpiece with primitive naive painting (1571).

17th-century chapel. Sainte-Pétronille.


A Roman martyr, she was mistakenly considered to be the favored daughter of Saint Peter, and was therefore behind France's adoption as the "Eldest Daughter of the Church" of the patronage of Sainte-Pétronille, whose cult died out at the end of the 17th century.
