A church has been present here since the fifth century, attributed to St. Ternan. Over the centuries, the church has remained a central point for the community. The current church, constructed in 1805, replaced an earlier one located on the same site. Built with solid stone walls and a pitched, slated roof, the property is now a Category B-listed building.
