St. Peter's Church

Local name: Église Saint-Pierre

A neoclassical church built in 1782-1786 on the site of an earlier temple, which dates back to the 4th century. It is a three-nave, stone building with a semi-circularly closed presbytery and a high tower above the entrance. Its height is caused by the fact that it was also built as a city belfry. The interior has been preserved in good condition despite the damage of the French Revolution. You can see the original 18th century Stations of the Cross and boagta sculptural decoration.
