Attractions
- The parish church, dedicated to the apostle Andrew , stands in its traditional location between the school and the town hall, on a square and by a cemetery. The first Romanesque church on this site was destroyed in 1569. The first reconstruction took place in the 17th century, but it was not until 1848 that it had its present form based on old plans as part of an expansion. These last works also included the construction of the bell tower and two side chapels . The single-nave building is covered by a steeply sloping roof, has the shape of a Latin cross and is closed on one side by the bell tower and on the altar side by a polygonal apse .
- There are two wells from the 18th century with pyramid roofs made from materials from the region. While one of the wells is orphaned, the owner of the other well has restored it. A stone spout can be seen on the right side, which used to feed a public watering place.
