The church of Saint-Vincent was once dedicated to Saint-Martin. It was built on the site of an old Gallo-Roman site (vestiges of this ancient time and of the Merovingian period have been found in the cemetery).
The church is in Romanesque style. It remains from this period the western facade, the nave, the transept and the apse.
Ribbed vaults were added to the building in the Gothic period. Also, a chapel is attached to the south wall as well as buttresses at the level of the nave.
A remarkable element of this church is its steeple with brick arches (and its three lanterns), which dates from the beginning of the XNUMXth century.
