Culture and History
The present-day Église Saint-Jacques is a neo-Gothic building; it replaced the church built on the same site in 1716.
The choir and sacristy of the Église Saint-Jacques were built in 1860.
After a statue of the Virgin Mary was discovered during clearing work in 1748, the local population provided 2,845 francs in 1857 for the construction of the Chapelle Notre-Dame.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame was blessed on 24 May 1868.
In 1957, on the occasion of the celebration of its centenary, it received stained-glass windows depicting its history.
Locally, the Chapelle Notre-Dame is known as Notre-Dame de la Troche and Notre-Dame du Tronc.
