The church of Saint-Marcellin (13th century) was enlarged and restored around 1715 by Father Hubert Firket. Characterized by the Louis XIII style, it retains important furniture, including some major pieces: the armorial slab of the vicar Ponthier (1722), the polychrome and armor-plated porticoed altars (1st quarter of the 18th century), the reliquary of Saint Marcellin.
The sanctuary, listed since 1987, was restored at the beginning of the 1990s, giving it its present appearance. The organ (1858) signed Clerinx has just been restored.
