The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Vers 1125, Guillaume II, évêque de Cahors, donna l'église à l'abbé de Sarlat. A l'est, se trouve une travée de choeur du 12e siècle, rectangle voûté en berceau brisé. La face Est porte, sur sa moitié sud, un arc de décharge brisé, qui semblerait indiquer que l'édifice se poursuivait à l'est. La nef sud paraît remonter également au 12e siècle. La nef nord, du 15e siècle, est divisée en deux travées par un arc brisé. Un clocher fortifié au 15e siècle est monté sur la première travée de cette nef. La partie haute a été remontée au 17e siècle et comporte quatre baies.

History
Around 1125, Guillaume II, bishop of Cahors, gave the church to the abbot of Sarlat. To the east is found a bay of choir from the 12th century, rectangular and vaulted with a broken barrel vault. The East face bears, on its southern half, a broken relieving arch, which would seem to indicate that the structure continued to the east. The south nave also appears to date from the 12th century. The north nave, of the 15th century, is divided into two bays by a pointed arch. A fortified bell tower from the 15th century is mounted on the first bay of this nave. The upper part was rebuilt in the 17th century and comprises four openings.
