Saint Nicholas Church

The current church, built in 1744, replaces an earlier place of worship mentioned as early as 1303.

Its simple architecture consists of a single nave and a square tower-choir extended by a three-sided apse to the east. Outside, funerary slabs are embedded in the wall, bearing witness to its past history.

Inside, the church houses exceptional furnishings: Baroque confessionals and a pulpit dating from 1749, as well as side altars dedicated to the Virgin and Saint Apollinaris, dating from the 18th century. Its organ, built in 1787 by Rabiny and renovated by Callinet between 1843 and 1845, is one of the parish's treasures. This instrument is also the first organ made by Louis Dubois in 1759.

The original façade, perfectly preserved, reveals the architect's style: between two lateral turrets, three curved flat surfaces are separated by pilasters topped with flame pots, while openwork rocaille motifs decorate the upper part of the flat surfaces. The organ's instrumental section underwent several modifications in the 18th and 19th centuries.
