FR Histoire
Une église est attestée à cet endroit en 1158, par une bulle papale d'Adrien IV1, de style roman. Elle sera remaniée au xvie siècle. L'église est inscrite au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 11 octobre 200.

Architecture
De style roman provençal, l'église Sainte-Marie est construite en pierre, avec trois contreforts de chaque côté. La toiture est couverte de lauzes. Le portail d'entrée est surmonté d'un oculus. Le clocher-mur comporte 2 baies, de dimensions différentes. L'abside ne comporte qu'un seul demi-cercle, couvert également en lauzes. L'église est encore entourée de son cimetière. Dans la nef, de deux travées, est disposé un autel, du xviie siècle, surmonté d'un arc de triomphe. À la droite de celui-ci est encore lisible une gravure en gothique. Un ancien autel, d'époque carolingienne, supporte le bénitier.
EN History
A church is attested to this place in 1158, by a papal bull of Adrian IV1, Romanesque style. It will be remodeled in the 16th century. The church has been listed as a historical monument since October 11, 200.

Architecture
In Provençal Romanesque style, the Sainte-Marie church is built of stone, with three buttresses on each side. The roof is covered with slates. The entrance gate is surmounted by an oculus. The bell tower has 2 bays, of different sizes. The apse has only one semi-circle, also covered in lauzes. The church is still surrounded by its cemetery. In the nave, with two bays, is an altar, from the 17th century, surmounted by a triumphal arch. To the right of it is still legible an engraving in Gothic. An old altar, from the Carolingian period, supports the stoup.

The cemetery
The cemetery (30m x 40m approx) is around this chapel. The tombs, for the most part are very old but some, very few in number, however, seem recent indicating that the chapel is still active at least for burials.
