Historique
De l'ancienne église paroissiale, détruite au début du 20e siècle, ne subsiste qu'une tour clocher datant de 1784. Le soubassement, jusqu'à la flèche, est une construction en pierre de taille, à base carrée, percée de baies en plein cintre à bandeaux unis sur deux faces, et flanquée sur les deux autres de tourelles d'escalier. La tour est couronnée par une galerie ajourée. La flèche octogonale est également en pierre.

History
Of the former parish church, destroyed in the early 20th century, only a bell tower dating from 1784 remains. The base, up to the spire, is a construction in dressed stone, with a square base, pierced with round arch openings with plain mouldings on two sides, and flanked on the two others with staircase turrets. The tower is crowned by an openwork gallery. The octagonal spire is also in stone.
