- The quarry stone nave of the parish church of Saint-Martin dates back to the late 11th century, but it was expanded to the north by a side aisle and a transept as early as the early 12th century . In the years 1140–1170 the flat-closing choir area was renewed in the early Gothic style ; the rose window (actually a wheel window with a quatrefoil as an axis) was installed in the 13th century. In 1821, parts of the church (including the tower) fell victim to a fire and were renovated. The original nave is covered by an open roof truss with wooden drawbars ending in dragon mouths; the aisle has a primitive looking barrel vault and the choir area shows Gothic rib vaults .
