The church dedicated to Saint-Jean-Baptiste was rebuilt from 1586 on the site of an old building, devoted in 1033, some of which are still visible. The new structure, consecrated on December 20, 1587, consists of three naves each with three spans. The square -shaped bell tower was built in 1663 on the north side of the bedside. A sacristy was added to the south in 1663. In addition, a new sacristy was built in 1844, at the same time as the presbytery and the chapel of the penitents.
