The village, located on a site inhabited since the Neolithic, was mentioned in written sources for the first time in 1050. The village developed around a castle; there was also a chapel in the village during the Middle Ages. The current village church dates from 1872, and is in a Romanesque Revival style, designed by J.-L. Blandot. There are several historical buildings in the village.[1]
