At the beginning of the 18th century, the present church was built. Many texts describe in detail all the stages of the work, the craftsmen, the artists and all the people who contributed to the construction of the building.
The factory (the parish), thanks to the wealth of the landowners and the growth of the vineyard of the time, was able to finance this construction which was carried out in two stages. The first was carried out in the first part of the eighteenth century, and included only exterior architecture.
In the second stage (second half of the 18th century), the interior of the church and its decoration were the subject of many works. The austerity of the façade contrasts with the ornamental richness and architectural prowess inside the church.
The overall plan is quite compact, the transepts and chevets are not very prominent. The large western sober facade is punctuated in three bays corresponding to the external division.
The central part is surmounted by a square tower: the bell tower, whose upper part was redone in 1845, following a violent fire.
It is supported by two buttresses decorated with fire pots and is divided into two superimposed floors, decorated with Ionic pilasters, surmounted by a copper dome, all ending in a lantern.
Upon entering, you will be struck by the superb proportions of the layout and brightness. Come and we will tell you the rest!
From 10am and 2pm, you can enjoy the church and its organ that will play specially for you.
