The Saint-Maurice church was entirely rebuilt during the 15th and 16th centuries in a flamboyant Gothic style. Nothing remains of the original 12th century building. In the 19th century the parish priest of Onésime Bariller, who was also a painter, dedicated himself to the embellishment and interior decoration of the church; one of his paintings is still on display there.
