Église Saint-Denis

The church was converted into a Romanesque church in the 12th century.

Some parts of the choir date back to 1060. The Wars of Religion caused serious damage to the building. The nave was rebuilt in the 17th century on the original foundations. The choir is the oldest part, with a barrel vault. An octagonal dome stands at the crossing of the transept. The 17th-century nave has four bays, restored in 1893. It is lit on the south side by four windows, the largest of which date from the 19th century.
The western gable of the church is adorned with a small 17th-century portal, surmounted by a statue of Saint Denis (go around the building to find the head of Saint Denis). The bell tower dates from the 17th century.

The church has been listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques since 11 June 1991.
