The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La petite chapelle Saint-Martin, prieuré dépendant de Cluny et situé à 200 mètres au nord du village, a été construite dans la seconde moitié du 12e siècle, à l'emplacement d'un ancien temple dédié à Jupiter. Sa porte romane est encadrée de deux colonnes à chapiteaux corinthiens. L'église a été restaurée à de nombreuses reprises, en particulier vers le milieu du 15e siècle (voûte de la chapelle Saint-Jean, couverture de la nef) et au 18e siècle (démolition d'une partie de l'église pour l'agrandissement du cimetière).

The small chapel of Saint-Martin, a priory dependent on Cluny and situated 200 metres north of the village, was built in the second half of the 12th century, on the site of a former temple dedicated to Jupiter. Its Romanesque door is framed by two columns with Corinthian capitals. The church was restored many times, in particular around the middle of the 15th century (vault of the Saint-Jean chapel, covering of the nave) and in the 18th century (demolition of part of the church for the enlargement of the cemetery).
