Latin cross church, built on the site of a very old chapel whose foundation is attributed to Saint-Julien. It was partly maintained, and sometimes restored, by the families of Coutances and Courtavel, lords of Baillou, whose coat of arms can be found in the church. The polygonal tower was built in modern times to provide easier access to the clock. There used to be frescoes which disappeared during the restoration of the building. Tiered bays with flamboyant tracery. Stained glass windows from the 16th century. The west gable opens with a Renaissance portal, probably of Italian inspiration, describing a basket-handle arch flanked by two pilasters with capitals carved with animals. It is surmounted by a sculpted entablature, and a shell niche in the shape of a hooked brace, accompanied by two pinnacles.
