The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église dépendait, d'après une bulle du pape Grégoire VII datée de 1080, de l'abbaye d'Aurillac.C'est peut-être de l'édifice du 11e siècle, dont la destruction a pu être l'oeuvre des paysans du Falgoux révoltés en 1265, sous la conduite du sire d'Apchon, que subsiste la série des modillons romans remployés dans la corniche. Du 13e siècle subsistent le choeur et la tour du clocher. Aux 14e-15e siècles furent ajoutées la nef et les bas-côtés qui subirent ensuite d'importants remaniements en 1903, date à laquelle furent ajoutées la tribune et la sacristie. La tribune à l'ouest de la nef a été construite à l'aide des pierres de la façade occidentale antérieure, alors démontée. La tour du clocher s'élève au-dessus de la première travée de la nef, passant du plan rectangulaire à l'octogone au moyen de trompes triangulaires coupant les angles.

History
The church depended, according to a bull of Pope Gregory VII dated 1080, on the abbey of Aurillac. It is perhaps from the building of the 11th century, whose destruction may have been the work of the peasants of Falgoux in revolt in 1265, under the leadership of the lord of Apchon, that there remains the series of Romanesque modillions reused in the cornice. From the 13th century there remain the choir and the bell tower. In the 14th-15th centuries were added the nave and the aisles which subsequently underwent important alterations in 1903, the date when the gallery and the sacristy were added. The gallery to the west of the nave was built using the stones of the previous western façade, which was then dismantled. The bell tower rises above the first bay of the nave, passing from rectangular to octagonal plan by means of triangular pendentives cutting the angles.
