Classed as a Historic Monument
The principal interest of this church
lies in a façade with images from the beginning
of the 16th century.
Introduction
Its double doorway in
Flamboyant style is topped with a bas-relief representing
Christs entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The
picture is full of life with the crowd even climbing
into the trees to welcome Christ.
Inside, behind the façade,
notice a Tournai black stone baptismal trough, whose
four sides are decorated with animal figures. Situated
just above, a 16th century bas-relief represents the
nativity.
Lower down, a Renaissance band is
sculpted with children and animals. In one of the niches,
on the right, is a fine figure of a compassionate Christ.
