The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le prieuré serait antérieur à 1067. En 1256, une transaction est passée entre l'abbé de la Chaise-Dieu et le seigneur de Roche-Savine : le prieuré sera l'un des six à dépendre de l'office de chambrier de la Chaise-Dieu. Le prieuré avait deux églises dans sa dépendance et exerçait la justice seigneuriale. L'édifice est composé d'une croisée de transept d'époque romane, voûtée d'une coupole sur trompes, dernier vestige du sanctuaire primitif qu'enveloppe l'église actuelle, reconstruite au 15e siècle. Dans la croisée, chapiteaux à entrelacs et personnages. Arcs géminés entre nef et transept. Portail méridional dont le style s'apparente à celui de la Chaise-Dieu.

The priory would be anterior to 1067. In 1256, a transaction was concluded between the abbot of la Chaise-Dieu and the lord of Roche-Savine: the priory was to be one of six depending on the office of chambrier of la Chaise-Dieu. The priory had two churches in its dependency and exercised seigneurial justice. The building is composed of a Romanesque transept crossing, vaulted with a dome on squinches, the last vestige of the original sanctuary which is enveloped by the present church, rebuilt in the 15th century. In the crossing, capitals with interlace and figures. Twin arcs between the nave and transept. Southern portal whose style is similar to that of la Chaise-Dieu.
