The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église Saint-Pierre, église romane à l'origine, a été remaniée au 19ème siècle. Son orientation a été alors changée, l'abside démolie et un chevet plat a été élevé à l'ouest. Seule la travée sous coupole, remontant au 12ème siècle et précédant l'abside a été conservée. Une inscription révolutionnaire « le peuple reconnait l'Etre Suprême et l'immortalité de l'âme » a été retrouvée au-dessus de la porte sud. L'église conserve l'ensemble de son décor peint et de ses vitraux du 19ème siècle.

History
The church of Saint-Pierre, originally a Romanesque church, was remodeled in the 19th century. Its orientation was then changed, the apse demolished and a flat chevet was built to the west. Only the bay under a dome, dating from the 12th century and preceding the apse was preserved. A revolutionary inscription "the people recognizes the Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul" was found above the south door. The church preserves the whole of its painted decoration and its 19th century stained glass windows.
