The chapelle de Charly or chapelle Saint-Jacques is a 15th-century building. The bell tower was listed as a Monument Historique on May 12, 1975.<br/>The building was commissioned in 1454 by Jacques Fusier, a local religious dignitary. A fire at the end of the 15th century led to the rebuilding of the church in 1541. In 1787, a second fire led to the construction of the present bulbous bell tower.
