History
The church, which appears in 1328, is the chapel of a priory dependent on Lahonce, founded by the Premonstratensians from the abbey of la Case-Dieu. This complex, linked to the pilgrimage route, included a hospital. The bell tower, originally a bell tower wall, was transformed into a porch tower preceded by a porch in the 19th century.
