Built in the 12th century, it is one of the last Romanesque churches in the Brionnais region. The Cluniac influence is evident in the triple tiered nave, the use of the pointed arch and the corbelled gallery above the western portal. The presence of an open triforium marks a moment of transition between the end of the Romanesque age and the beginning of the Gothic. The sculpted decoration of the tympanum dedicated to Saint-Hilaire, a rare iconographic theme, is interesting. Guided tours by reservation.
