History
Small Romanesque church which consists of a nave vaulted with a wooden barrel vault (exceptional local disposition), a fore-choir vaulted with a stone barrel vault and an apse whose cul-de-four rests on arcatures presenting the Auvergnat disposition. Certain parts of the buttresses and several windows have undergone modifications. The portal has retained its wooden door covered with hinges, with small heads forming the salient points of the wrought ironwork armatures.
