Builtin in the 11th century by the disciples of Saint-Hadelin-de-Celles, this imposing collegiate church is one of
the best examples of Romanesque architecture.
Perfectly preserved, the church is inseparable from the hermitage perched a few tens of meters higher.
Inside, besides the freshness more than welcome, a crypt of the 9th century and furniture ranging from the 12th to the 19th century.
In short, a refreshing back in History on this beautiful day of June.

A restoration a little too radical has made disappear forever for the significance of these steles.
