The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Exemple d'architecture romane rurale de la zone de transition entre le Bourbonnais et l'Auvergne, l'église en illustre les influences. De l'église primitive, qui pourrait être du 10e siècle, ne subsistent plus que la nef et le bas-côté sud. Au 12e siècle, rajout des parties absidiales et du bas-côté nord. En arrière de l'arc triomphal supportant le clocher, a été élevé un nouvel arc appuyé sur des colonnes aux chapiteaux sculptés et contre lequel butte le cul-de-four de l'abside. Peintures murales de 1383 (adoration des Mages...). Inscriptions mortuaires gravées, indiquant 1557 et 1608.

History
Example of rural Romanesque architecture of the transition zone between the Bourbonnais and Auvergne, the church illustrates the influences. Of the primitive church, which could be from the 10th century, only the nave and south aisle remain. In the 12th century, addition of the apsidal parts and the north aisle. Behind the triumphal arch supporting the bell tower, a new arch was raised resting on columns with sculpted capitals and against which butts the conch of the apse. Mural paintings of 1383 (adoration of the Magi...). Engraved mortuary inscriptions, indicating 1557 and 1608.
