The church, today located in the center of the village, was erected mid 12th century, when it was part of a castle. A century later the church got enlarged and later further modified. In 2009, during the restauration of the church, faded frescoes from the 14th/15the century were decovered under the plaster. Probably a "Last Judgement". The smiling skeleton reminds me on a "Danse macabre" a popular icon from the 15th century on (eg Chaise-Dieu, Basel).
