History
Church of the former pieve of Castello, built in the 14th century, remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Having become national property and sold at the Revolution, it serves as a private chapel sheltering burials. The edifice opens by a door topped with a monolithic lintel. The north lateral wall is pierced by a semi-circular opening. The south lateral wall is pierced by a door giving access to the interior of the edifice, covered with a vault. An apse forms the chevet.
