History
The portal of the church comes from the chapel of the 12th-century castle. It was remodelled at the end of the 19th century. It is a portal with an archivolte of two voussures and a bead moulding with diamond points which outline an acute arch framing a tympanum with a scalloped lintel. The voussures are carried by columns. Sculptured capitals. The tympanum presents the Lamb bearing the cross, in a glory held by two angels.
