[FR] L'église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption fut rendue mondialement célèbre par Vincent van Gogh qui l'a représentée sur une de ses toiles (aujourd'hui au musée d'Orsay).
Le chœur et le transept sont les parties les plus anciennes de l'édifice, la nef fut construite vers 1220. Le chevet fut ensuite repris vers 1260 et ses fenêtres agrandies.
L'intérieur possède de gros piliers ornés de chapiteaux romans du XIIe siècle. La nef est dallée avec d'anciennes pierres tombales retournées, provenant du cimetière attenant désaffecté. Le clocher abrite trois cloches : une baptisée Marie-Louise datant de 1733, et deux de 1891, nommées Adolphine-Caroline et Constance-Eugénie.
