Historical description A 12th-century building whose nave was restored in the 19th century and an aisle was added. The west façade is distinguished by the fact that it is connected by a 16th-century covered gallery, which spans the street, to a former manor house opposite, known as the Doyenné. The bell tower consists of a powerful square tower, flanked on the north side by a staircase turret, which is pierced in the floor of the bell tower by two pointed arch bays with double archivolts. This tower rises above the bay forming the choir and is supported by pointed arch arcades, formed by concentric arches of rectangular cross-section, which frame a square bay with ribbed vaults.

The Saint-Michel church built in 1848 on the site of the old church, responds to a neo-Gothic style. Every Saturday morning, the market takes place on the church square.

This very pretty church is directly linked to the nearby Fontevraud Abbey. On the site of the current church stood a chapel built by the monks of the Abbey of Fontevraud in the 12th century, known as the Chapel of the Angels, which was not erected into a parish church until a little later.
