The north wall of St. John, or St. John the Baptist Church, is partially built of tuff. They are probably recycled stones from an older church.
The construction history of the present building begins in the 13th century, but the tower, with an artificial spire, is some three centuries younger. By the way, this spire was close to disappearing. In 1923, the church trustees decided to demolish the spire because there was no money for restoration. Thanks to various actions, enough money was raised to preserve this crowning of the tower. The church building is now a national monument.
