This Church from the XIV or the XV century, is built with a local stone called (« Garluche »). Recently renovated by the Municipality and by the Church community, it counts 3 naves : the lateral naves (14m long and 4m wide) reach the main nave (31m long and 6,5m wide) made with vaults of juxtaposed pink bricks.

Pillars, arches, ribs intersections, decorated vault ceilings in white stone, can be admired, as well as the walls made with "garluche", the stained glasses, the altars, without forgetting the woodwork and ornements.
