Attractions
- The town hall (Mairie) is also known as the "Old Castle". It was built in the 17th century on the site of a previous building that was destroyed by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War . In 1955, the municipality was able to acquire it from private ownership and housed the municipal administration here.
- The parish church of Saint-Pierre-et-Paul (Peter and Paul Church) was built in 1897 in a historicizing style between neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic. It replaces a previous church that had become too small at the end of the 19th century due to the strong population growth.
