History
Romanesque church, partly ruined by the Protestants around the middle of the 16th century. It was restored in 1660 by the prior Villon. Set on fire by the Camisards in 1703, it was repaired shortly after. The nave is vaulted with a barrel vault and the choir with a cul-de-four. The gable bell tower probably dates from the 17th century. Sacristy attached to the south facade.
