Back
The Romanesque church (XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries) was remodeled at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Its façade retains a Romanesque bas-relief illustrating the Crucifixion and sculpted capitals representing lions, griffins and Atlanteans.
Also worth seeing: its recent classical tabernacle and two Virgins in polychrome wood from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, recently restored. The priory church was built at the end of the XNUMXth century. During the Hundred Years War, it was partly fortified, then remodeled at the beginning of the XNUMXth century.
