    In the sixteenth century Johan Cardailhac, abbot Belleperche, ordered the construction of a church, flanked by a majestic hexagonal tower and a massive stone bridge.In 1686, the village priest ordered the construction of an altarpiece that replaces a polychrome decoration on the back wall of the nave.
