The Church of St. Thibault is the former church of a priory, which was built in 1143 under Archbishop Samson von Mauvoisin. The most notable element of this church is the western tower, the ground floor of which serves as a veranda and opens onto a nave of four spans. It was built in the 16th century and the corners of this tower are fortified by mighty buttresses. This veranda tower opens with a portal that is crowned by a railing and a rose window.
