Elongated building, consisting of a simple nave, extended by an approximately square choir, ending in a flat apse. In the 15th century a massive bell tower was built, as well as a bay to the west, forming a new entrance facade. Inside, a liter bearing the arms of the La Vallière family runs all around the nave and the choir. A red ocher band runs along part of the base of the walls and certain painted scenes are still visible on the walls of the nave and the gable. On the gable wall remain the remains of what must have been a Last Judgment. Extract from the site: https://monumentum.fr/eglise-paroissiale-saint-pierre-pa00132566.html
