Consolidated by buttresses

Listed as a Historical Monument in 1942, Saint Brice of Ay Church was built in the 15th century on the site of an older building. A stone tower was added around 1550, topped with an arrow, but a fire destroyed its vaults shortly after. Four massives buttresses were thus built, almost reaching the edifice's ledge. The church's tympanum shows a male statue on its left and a woman on its right, surrounding a statue of God. A baluster protects the rose window included in a pointed arch. Saint Brice of Ay Church holds a large organ in French Baroque style dating from 1749. Its instrumental part was destroyed during a bombardment in 1940 and restored between 1988 and 1991 by Gaston Kern.
