The Church of St. Philipp and St. Jakob lies below the village and the castle enthroned above it on the southeastern slope of a rocky outcrop. It was built in the 15th century in one go, as evidenced by its style and architectural unity. During this period, the village experienced significant growth, thanks to the charters granted by Jean III. de Châteauneuf at the end of the 13th century, and the introduction of annual fairs by Duke Eudes IV. in the 14th century and by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in 1459.
