Named after the Virgin Mary, the church and its tower date back to Romanesque times. The church was rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1638. A stone with a magnificent coat of arms is set above the pointed archway and the 17th Century Cross on the west façade survived a devastating village fire in 1876.
