beautiful especially at night with the light everywhere

The 18th century market hall, with its chestnut wood frame, is an emblematic place in the village

Beautiful view of the castle and the countryside.

A very charming village, each street offers a new angle for photos, typical half-timbered houses.

This small church has a unique architecture. Two small apses form two short transepts on the sides. The main nave has no apse but a straight back wall behind the altar. It is also not oriented to the east as usual but rather to the west.

A very pretty village that has also suffered massive flooding. Noteworthy is the red stone bench in the hall where fish and meat were sold.
