Attractions
- Parish church, dedicated to John the Baptist , was destroyed like many churches during the Huguenot War. The current church was built in the 17th century. The bell gable has the characteristic shape of a clocher trinitaire as a symbol of the Trinity . Because of the three crosses on the tops of the roof tops of the gable, a connection with the Passion of Christ on Mount Golgotha can be established. The covered porch protects the side entrance portal , framed in a round arch made of ashlar . The interior of the church is divided into a main aisle and a side aisle. Probably in the 19th century, the interior received wall paintings with floral motifs, the colors of which depend on the respective altar in the vicinity.
