The church of Saint-Hippolyte de Brion is a small church built in large granite units. It has a two-storey wall-belfry, the first one is occupied by a window and the second one is pierced by two bays each receiving a bell
The walls of the church bear witness to a miracle of Saint James, which occurred in Spain, relating the conversion of Queen Luppa, following the capture of wild bulls by the two disciples of Saint James. Thus, above the entrance portal of the church and in the extension of the façade, one can see sculpted figures: a pilgrim, two faces (those of the disciples) and the head of a bull, then, a little further on, another bull but decorated.
