St Hilaire de Poitiers is the patron saint of the parish. The presence of a chapel has been confirmed in various archives since 1604. The nave of the current building dates from 1763, and the door lintel from 1830. In 1957, a restoration took place following the damage of WWII. The church is particularly distinguished by its obus-shaped bell tower. The cemetery around the building has 5 tombstones from the first half of the 19th century (one with the inscription Piette, Ottré) and 17 schist crosses from the 19th century.
