Église de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont

The church displays a triconical apse with three absides arranged around a square bell tower that contains a window on each side.

The mason monks from Saint-Sever Abbey constructed the church in the 11th century, and its Romanesque apse received historical monument status in 1963.

The apse sculptures feature patterns similar to those at Saint-Sever Abbey, including animal heads and bust-length figures.

The building stands within an enclosure featuring a walkway surrounded by four lime trees and a shell limestone wall.

The main altar and its stucco decorations were created by the Mazzetti brothers, a Swiss family of sculptor-decorators from the 18th century.
