Attractions
The former priory church of St-Trinit consists of a short nave, a choir bay and a five-sided choir apse, which is covered by a semi-domed vault. A triumphal arch separates the nave from the choir bay. The church is probably not the one mentioned in the bull of Pope Gelasius II from 1118, since some structural elements, such as the choir bay, were not built until the middle of the twelfth century. The church, along with the nave, was not completed until half a century later. In 1652 the barrel vault was completely renewed.
The chapel dedicated to the plague saint St. Rochus was built between 1629 and 1630.
