Built on the site of a Visigothic chapel, it is mentioned as early as 990 and dedicated to Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens, whose story is told in the frescoes of the chevet and on the stained glass windows The church hosted the meetings of the consuls of the village, whose archives were kept in a niche, dug in a wall at the base of the bell tower The building was redesigned in the 12th century and fortified in the 14th century: with machicolations and reinforced buttresses, and a 20-meter high bell tower was built to serve as a watchtower. In those hard times, the population sheltered behind the ramparts, but also in the church Major restoration work was conducted from October 2012 to March 2013 led to the discovery of one of the largest decorations of the nineteenth century in the region.
