History
Bell tower of early Romanesque style, 35 metres in height, built in the 11th century. The ground floor is pierced with loopholes. Then comes a storey pierced, on three sides, with a round-arch window. Higher up, the bell chamber is pierced with two large twin openings. The entablature supports a spire and four small bell turrets. During the Wars of Religion, in 1587, the village and church were burned. Of the latter only the tower remains.
