The building, built from 1868 to 1876 on the site of a 12th-century church, gradually deteriorated due to lack of maintenance at the beginning of the 21st century.[1][2] It was demolished from January to May 2013. In June 2013, a new park project presented by the town hall was approved by around thirty residents present. The works were carried out at the beginning of 2015.
