Parish Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste

The parish church dedicated to John the Baptist was first mentioned in 1273. It has been registered as a Monument historique since September 28, 1970 . The nave , initially with a single nave , is extended by a semicircular choir . As a result, the bell tower was built in front of the entrance portal . At the beginning of the 16th century, the nave was extended by a north aisle. The two naves received a ribbed vault at the same time . During the Huguenot Wars , the church was set on fire in 1569, when the bell tower was completely destroyed as a result. At the beginning of the 17th century, the nave was embellished with a rich wall painting , which was restored at the beginning of the 21st century. Around 1720 a sacristy was added in front of the aisle with a room for the baptismal font as an extension. At the same time, the bell tower was rebuilt and the open, oak-covered porch was built. The current tower with a height of 27 m is equipped with a polygonal helmet , which is covered with slate . It replaces an earlier helmet that was badly damaged by a hurricane in 1854.
