The church: The present building, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, replace the medieval church that was partly the same place. The date of June 26, 1888, engraved on a stone from the door, mark the laying of the cornerstone.

The Chapel Motasse: It was opened August 5, 1867, to mark the 50th anniversary of the presence of Jean Essertel priest in the parish. She is now buried. This chapel is a modest building with a single nave, with a small belfry surmounted by a Virgin and is dedicated to Mary Help of Christians.
