History

First mention of a church dedicated to Saint-Lubin in the 6th century. In the 11th century, construction of a Romanesque sanctuary (single nave with five bays, a choir bay with a dome on squinches). In the 17th century, the apse is closed by a large retable and two side altars (1644). In the 19th century, the church was in poor condition and too small: campaign of work under the direction of the architect Nourry-Blatin between 1856 and 1862. The church is enlarged by one bay, construction of a side chapel and a sacristy on the south elevation, remnant of the bell tower removed and replaced by a lighter spire, roof redone in slate. In the 20th century, wall paintings of the 12th-13th centuries were discovered under whitewash: they represent Christ surrounded by the tetromorph.
