Its church dates from the 15th century although parts of the tower may date from the 13th century. Enter through the porch with its ancient door, inside the nave has a wagon roof painted black and white. Carved leaves adorn the 14th century font, nearby one of the pillars -
- has a peephole cut through, a small doorway in the tower still has the original door and hinges.
