The church dating from Roman times is dedicated to Saint Cyr and Saint Julitte. It preserves the choir transept as well as the tower located to the south. The vault above the high altar has preserved the traces of a fresco formed mainly of two-coloured geometric motifs, according to the tradition of the 12th century. This vault, which probably adorned the entire choir, was restored around 1960\. Around 1460, the vault, nave and frame were restored as evidenced by a red inscription. The decoration includes altarpieces in Argentré marble of the 17th and 18th centuries, including that of Saint Michel dated 1759\. The clock was installed around 1875 by the company Lussault de Tiffauges in the Vendée. The 4 dials have been preserved, the timer and the hands redone in 1950.
