Step 1
The parish came under the archpriest of Mauzé and its cure was at the appointment of the abbey of Nouaillé. The Middle Ages church was restored in the 1868th century, then partly rebuilt in 1890. Its right apse is pierced by a flamboyant Gothic style window and its square bell tower, without opening and fortified in its upper part, rests on a dome with pendants. Its three bells (Joséphine, Victoire and Madeleine), cast by G. Baullée d'Orléans, were baptized in XNUMX.
Step 2
The Hosannière cross of the cemetery known as a gyratory (possibility of changing the sculpted face by turning it) dates from the beginning of the 17th century and is the work of a local stonemason (naive representation of Christ on the reverse and a silhouette of woman dressed and hairstyled in the fashion of the time, holding an urn and representing the patron saint of the church). It is placed on a low pedestal following the disappearance of its shaft and the initials GBM (Guillaume Boucault, parish priest at that time) are engraved on it.
Step 3
Stone wash house with a movable wooden floor. Indeed, the water level was variable. Most of the wash houses that we find in the region are equipped with a basin. Here, it was in the river that the laundry was rinsed.
