The church of Saint-Martin des Faux was originally a priory. It was then attached to the college of Rodez in 1574. The church underwent repairs in 1771 which gave it its current appearance. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme

Church open to the public (subject to reservation) every day in July-August and on weekends from April to June. Historical details in the building.
The church contains a 17th century altarpiece at the high altar and statues of bishops. A second altarpiece is dedicated to the Virgin. The parish had as an annex the chapel of Saint-Hippolyte, which was destroyed a long time ago in place of the present statue of the Virgin near the cemetery. An ancient sarcophagus can also be seen in the cemetery. In the village, a rustic monument to the dead, made of 3 large stones, pays homage to 3 men of the parish killed on 18 June 1944 by a German column. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
