The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Certaines sculptures permettent de dire que l'église existait au 12e siècle. En 1340, elle dépendait de l'archiprêtré de Daglan. En 1350, elle fut unie à la paroisse de Castelnaud. L'évêque de Sarlat en était collateur. L'édifice se compose d'une nef, d'un choeur et d'une abside semi-circulaire. La nef a été revoûtée au 18e siècle d'un plafond lambrissé. Chapiteaux sculptés. Sur l'arc triomphal s'élève un clocher en fronton percé de deux baies. Pour accéder aux cloches, il avait été aménagées, sur la face sud de la toiture des lauzes saillantes en forme de marches.

Certain sculptures allow us to say that the church existed in the 12th century. In 1340, it depended on the archpriest of Daglan. In 1350, it was united to the parish of Castelnaud. The Bishop of Sarlat was its collator. The building consists of a nave, a choir and a semi-circular apse. The nave was re-vaulted in the 18th century with a coffered ceiling. Sculpted capitals. Above the triumphal arch rises a bell tower in the form of a pediment pierced by two openings. To access the bells, there had been arranged, on the south face of the roof, projecting slate tiles in the form of steps.
