(12th)

The choir, originally Gothic, was reworked at the end of the 19th century in a neo-Romanesque style. The nave is decorated with modillions, probably from the 12th century, which support the cornice. Attached to the north of the building, the bell tower is, until the 1950s, accessible via a turret

Altarpiece:
Two stone statues, depicting a Virgin with Child and St. Lawrence, are inscribed in the wings of this altarpiece in three parts separated by four columns, decorated with foliage and painted in faux marble. Above an old marble entablature, the upper niche once housed a statue of Saint John the Baptist, now replaced by a plaster Sacred Heart, contemplated by two angels. The ensemble, redesigned in the 18th century, was partly mutilated in 1944.
