The lower part of the tower dates from the 11th century, and the present church was built between about 1275 and 1527. The neo-Romanesque top of the tower was added between 1844 and 1871. Inside, the choir has an 18th-century series of tapestries. The building is open to everyone and is also a place of worship, with Mass every day.
