Listed as a Historic Monument.
Saint-Geniès Church, a 12th-century Romanesque building remodelled in the 17th century. The interior décor is protected. Listed in 1985.
A number of funerary stones are used as replacements on the south facade of the church.
Two of them are classified as historic monuments. The interior of the church features a Romanesque font sculpted with medallions and 16th-century frescoes, in particular two representations of Herodias (or Salome) and Saint John the Baptist, which frame the chancel surmounted by the dove of the Holy Spirit.
