The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église, qui apparaît en 1328, est la chapelle d'un prieuré relevant de Lahonce, fondé par les Prémontés venus de l'abbaye de la Case-Dieu. Cet ensemble, lié au chemin de pèlerinage, comportait un hôpital. Le clocher, clocher-mur à l'origine, fut transformé en clocher-tour précédé d'un porche au 19e siècle.

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.
