The parish church was finished in 1557 or 1558 and consecrated in 1582, replacing the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Consolation. Built on the rocks at the northern entrance of the village, with massive buttresses, it has a single nave, a three-sided apse and a square bell tower whose battlements were removed in the Revolution. Among its works is a sixteenth-century Virgin of the Rosary attributed to the Lombard painter Coriolano Malagavazzo.
