History
Former chapel attached to the castle, the church dates from the 13th century. It was transformed and part of it was rebuilt in the 15th (nave) and 16th century. The building is rectangular in plan, without a transept, divided into three bays of which one, that of the choir, is narrower than the others. The choir is vaulted with ribs whose keystone bears the arms of Montmorin. The two bays of the nave are vaulted with ribs and separated by a chamfered transverse arch resting on corbels ornamented with coats of arms borne by angels.
