The XII° century church is situated near a magnificent lime tree (a Sully), close to the presbytery and the war memorial. With its Romanesque architecture, it looks like the church of Sainte-Marie-Lapanouze. Inside, you will find a XII° century stoup and two statues, one of St Jacques and the other one of St Etienne. The cemetary is near the church. At the entrance of the enclosure, there is a beutiful granite cross.
It was built in 1615 in the middle of the fields. It had many different landlords. That is probably the reason why it has been neglected.
