This half-timbered church, typical of the area in the Pays du Der, dates from the 16th century. It contained stained glass windows from the same period and was classified as a historic monument on December 21, 1982. “It is quite old and dates back to the 15th or 16th century. It is a building of great importance, especially as it is the circuit of half-timbered churches in the south of Le Der,” explains Mayor Emmanuel Le Roy. france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr
