The St. Leobinus dedicated small parish church Saint-Lubin is from rubble erected Romanesque acting construction of the 12th or 13th century; Remains of the old apse windows - later walled up - can still be seen. The buttresses made of precisely hewn house stones may have been added later. In the 17th or 18th century, the significantly larger windows of the nave were installed. The upper part of the bell tower probably collapsed at some point and was replaced by a half-timbered construction with a slated roof .
