The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Prieuré clunisien fondé en 952. L'église a été construite entre la fin du 10e et le 12e siècle. Au 15e siècle, réfection du portail. Entre 1767 et 1790, l'édifice d'habitation est reconstruit. A la Révolution, les bâtiments sont vendus comme biens nationaux et transformés en habitations, hormis l'église devenue paroissiale. Entre 1825 et 1827, le clocher est reconstruit. £La tour remonte au 14e siècle et a conservé la plupart de ses percements anciens. Elle s'orne d'un décor peint du 17e siècle qui atteste de la vocation religieuse de la construction. Ce décor a été complété au 18e siècle par une cheminée aux motifs Rocaille sur le trumeau de laquelle a été peint vers 1820 un personnage caricatural.

Cluniac priory founded in 952. The church was built between the end of the 10th and the 12th century. In the 15th century, the portal was refurbished. Between 1767 and 1790, the residential building is reconstructed. At the Revolution, the buildings were sold as national assets and converted into dwellings, except the church which became parochial. Between 1825 and 1827, the bell tower is reconstructed. The tower dates from the 14th century and has retained most of its old openings. It is ornamented with painted decoration from the 17th century which testifies to the religious vocation of the construction. This decoration was completed in the 18th century by a fireplace with Rocaille motifs on the chimney-breast of which was painted around 1820 a caricatural figure.
