Description
The church of Saint-Pierre/Saint-Michel, half Gothic half Romanesque, has been classified as a historical monument since 1921. The current building dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries (but is likely to follow an older construction, around the year 1000).
Church known as pilgrimage, the only ambulatory possessed by Haute-Auvergne.
The Gothic part of the left was deeper at the time and shortened when the building was refurbished.
To see absolutely: chalice, frescos, stained glass.
