Before reaching the village, on the right side of the road we catch the beautiful church on the top of a nearby hill standing at the side of the forest. The western doorway is adorned with rich stone carving. The edge of the tympanon arc is adorned with an ornament well known from the Conquest age belt buckles. The lamb holding the cross is regularly exhibited in the medieval romanesque church doorways.
