The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise appartenant à un prieuré de moniales de l'ordre de Fontevrault, fondé en 1131. Pendant la Révolution, le prieuré est scindé en lots, vendus séparément en 1796. Un mur sépare alors en deux le vaisseau de l'église, formant d'un côté une grange, de l'autre l'église. En 1944, l'église brûle dans un incendie volontaire déclenché par les troupes allemandes.

Church belonging to a priory of nuns of the order of Fontevrault, founded in 1131. During the Revolution, the priory is divided into lots, sold separately in 1796. A wall then separates the nave of the church into two parts, forming on one side a barn, on the other the church. In 1944, the church burns in a fire deliberately set by German troops.
