This historic church showcases architectural elements from different periods, with its smaller tower originating in the 13th century and the taller tower added in the 15th century. Rising prominently above the town, it serves as a visual anchor in the landscape. A particularly noteworthy feature is the Giacometti window, an artistic highlight that adds a modern cultural layer to this otherwise medieval structure.
