L'église Saint-Jean-Baptiste fut reconstruite en 1896, en granite (il y a d'anciennes carrières dans la forêt du Bizin). De style néo-gothique, elle se dresse dans sa majestueuse blancheur en haut de la butte sur laquelle s'est bâti le bourg. L'endroit est pentu et des escaliers monumentaux, doubles, permettent d'accèder au petit parvis aménagé en terrasse. L'intérieur est harmonieux et surprend agréablement par la clarté qu'apportent les baies de la nef, illuminant la voûte en croisée d'ogives. Une série de sculptures en bois d'intéressante facture, comme celle de Sainte Anne, décorent les bas-côtés.
