Founded in the 13th century, Saint-Jean-Baptiste church was not built until the 14th century and rebuilt in the 15th century. The current building is the result of alterations and restorations carried out over the centuries.
Formerly located in the middle of the two towns (“up” and “down”), it is included in the enclosure of the old cemetery. The bell tower topped with a traditional imperial roof opens onto a single nave covered by a gable roof and a lower choir, highlighting two periods of construction. Wooden paneling covers the walls of the choir and the nave. Note the presence of several interesting elements of old religious furniture in carved and gilded wood: scenes from the Old and New Testaments on certain panels of the paneling; the preaching pulpit, a Christ on the cross, statues of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Nicholas.
