The parish church was built at the end of the th century in volcanic stone by the Rochetaillée family, which gave this magnificent monument to the commune. It houses a golden altarpiece representing the Madonna and the Child Jesus. There is also a pietà (one of the only remains of the old church) and a splendid organ, pride of the city that enhances the ceremonies of the Sunday assemblies. Aristide Cavaille-Coll was his builder, recognized as the greatest organ factor of the th century.

It is here, overlooking the city, that the remains of the feudal castle of the dukes of Bourbon and Urfé are found. Nearby, we find the chapel Notre-Dame-du-Château, Gothic style (of the xivth century and Gothic style where the funeral of Anne d 'Urfé was held, which was under Charles IX third royal bailli of the Forez and gentleman of the king.
