The Broard family owned a strong house in the village. We assumed it was
located where the old presbyter is today. The tower of the house improving the defense of
the village is an assumption based on 2 similar examples found in La
Buissière.
In 1326, Jean Broard sells to the Dauphin a piece of land within the village
to build the church of the village. The current church is still built on the same place
but is much more modern as its oldest part (the bell tower) was only built in 1680.
