The much-revamped Saint-Laurent church reveals its Romanesque origins in the semi-circular apse, shouldered by a flat buttress and surmounted by two segmental-arched geminated bays opened during the Renaissance, now walled in. Grison, a ferruginous pudding, gives the building a colorful note, contrasting with the rendered flint rubble masonry. It highlights the nave window surrounds (most of which were modified in 1890), reinforces the buttresses and frames the Romanesque entrance porch, enriched with an archivolt.
Straddling the ridge, the octagonal bell tower was erected in 1703, replacing the old one, "spire-based and nearly 150 feet high", which collapsed when struck by lightning on February 2, 1701. Around 1780, the sacristy and choir steps were built with materials from the priory at Moutiers-au-Perche.
Inside:
