Description:

St. Peter's church, with its massive facade, was built in the 13th century, but in 1700 it was enlarged and its orientation changed. "Only the nave is original, while the stained-glass windows and side aisles date from the 17th century. As for the inscription on its pediment "Liberté Egalité Fraternité", it appeared under Napoleon, at the time of the Republican movement. It is frequently found in other villages". Romanesque in style, it features a curious skylight above the high altar, as well as an imposing organ "which we had some difficulty getting through the door in 1872. The red crosses on its pillars are not the Templar cross pattee, but the sign of their consecration in 1266". Most of its furnishings are listed or registered as Historic Monuments.
