The local church - where the market hall is located and which at that time still belonged to the priory - was built in the 12th century.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint-Jean-Baptist), to whom the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Jean-Baptist) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

a magnificent Romanesque church dating from the 12th century. With its facade decorated with sculptures and its sober but elegant interior, it is a remarkable testimony to medieval architecture and a still active place of worship in the heart of the village.
