history
It is unclear whether the place already existed in the Middle Ages - the single-nave church (probably a former priory church ) suggests that.
Attractions
The late Romanesque church Notre-Dame de la Purification , largely made of stone, was built around 1300. While the defensive-looking rectangular bell gable (clocher mur) and the nave of the original building were preserved, the apsisless became after the end of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) The choir and the west portal were renewed in the Gothic style . Two side niches give the portal a heightened meaning in the sense of a triumphal arch scheme . Church construction has been recognized as a monument historique since 1948 .
