The church of Sainte-Croix-et-Saint-Pierre has a pure Romanesque style façade. Only the south portal and the wall-belfry of the west façade emerge from this granite mass. The latter is a single-storey building with two bays, ending in a pinnacle mounted on a Latin cross. The portal is notable for its two sawtooth arches. A Star of David is also carved into the stone of the tympanum
Inside, the facing is different from that of the exterior. Built in opus incertum, only the vaults and pilasters stand out with a large granite unit. The church has a single barrel-vaulted nave. It opens onto two square side chapels. The choir houses a magnificent wood and gold altarpiece on which sits an imposing statue of Christ. At the entrance, there is also a magnificent baptismal font crowned with a cross. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
