The church of Saint Vincent was once dedicated to Saint Martin. It was built in the 12th century on the site of an ancient Gallo-Roman site (remains of this ancient period and the Merovingian period were found in the cemetery). The church is in Romanesque style. It remains from this period the western façade, the nave, the transept and the apse. Vaults on ogive frames were added to the building in the Gothic period. Also, a chapel is attached to the south wall as well as buttresses at the level of the nave. A notable feature of this church is its bell tower with brick arcades (and three lanterns), which dates from the early 19th century.
