The church, a 13th century fortress straddling
the enclosure wall, underwent heavy
restoration work in the 19th century.
Dedicated to Saint Laurent and Saint Front, it
forms a vast rectangle with six spans of
diagonal ribs, lit by only a few bays, except
the choir with its immense central glass
window
The first four bays occupy the nave on the
north wall. A chapel opens between two columns
of the third bay. The fifth forms the transept
and the sixth accommodates the choir.
A complex system of fortifications occupies
all the high parts of the church.
The west façade is remarkable: between two
square towers, it frames a complex portal with
four pointed arches, dominated by a frieze
carved with various themes, topped by a
gallery with an openwork balustrade.
