The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édifice est mentionné dans un acte donatoire de 1166. Le clocher paraît être l'ouvrage le plus tardif, datant de la fin du 12e ou du début du 13e siècle. L'église a conservé son état d'origine, hormis la couverture remplacée à une date inconnue par une couverture en lauzes avec augmentation des pentes ayant eu une incidence sur les baies hautes. Au cours de la Révolution, le clocher a échappé à la destruction, contrairement aux autres clochers du Puy-de-Dôme.

History
The building is mentioned in a deed of gift of 1166. The bell tower appears to be the most recent work, dating from the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. The church has retained its original state, except for the roof replaced at an unknown date with stone slate covering with increased pitches which had an impact on the upper windows. During the Revolution, the bell tower escaped destruction, unlike other bell towers in Puy-de-Dôme.
