The church of Saints Peter and Paul was built around 1200 on top of another from the Carolingian period. Enlarged in the 19th century, it was practically destroyed in World War II, and was completely restored in the 1950s. It preserves original parts on its western façade, with the frieze studded on blind arches decorated with human and feline heads. On the cover, a lintel decorated with the Lamb surrounded by the symbols of the evangelists supports a tympanum in which Christ is represented handing over the keys to Saint Peter and a book to Saint Paul; on either side are the donors, who offer a bag and a barrel.
