Scene Description: Source caption: "Le bourg et son église dépendaient, du point de vue temporel et spirituel, de l’Ordre de Malte. Les visiteurs de cet Ordre qui inspectèrent l’édifice en 1617, malgré l’hostilité du curé, constatèrent qu’elle « était voûtée, possédait trois chapelles et quatre autels. Et en somme était assez bien tenue »."
