Historique
Eglise romane remaniée aux 15e et 16e siècles, restaurée en 1844. Cette église est caractéristique des édifices ruraux qui ont évolué au fil des siècles. Le prieuré est attesté en 1179 comme appartenant à l'abbaye de Saint-Chaffre. De l'église du 12e siècle subsistent la voûte de la nef, les murs de la première travée et du transept. La façace occidentale et le clocher-mur remontent au 15e siècle. Le chevet et le reste de la nef furent reconstruits au 16e siècle. Le choeur et ses chapelles possèdent des chapiteaux bagués ornés de sculptures polychromes du 16e siècle (têtes d'anges, dragons, poissons affrontés, tête d'homme dont la bouche laisse échapper des volutes).

History
Romanesque church altered in the 15th and 16th centuries, restored in 1844. This church is characteristic of rural buildings which have evolved over the centuries. The priory is attested in 1179 as belonging to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre. From the church of the 12th century survive the vault of the nave, the walls of the first bay and of the transept. The western facade and the porch tower date from the 15th century. The chevet and the rest of the nave were rebuilt in the 16th century. The choir and its chapels possess banded capitals adorned with polychrome sculptures of the 16th century (heads of angels, dragons, confronted fish, head of man from whose mouth scrolls escape).
