The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise du 12e siècle bâtie sur le modèle de la chapelle de Perse, à Estaing. Il s'agissait d'abord d'un prieuré uni à la cure en 1487, puis aux Annonciades de Rodez en 1517. Après un incendie en 1616, elle a subi quelques transformations (chapelles latérales, réfection des voûtes...). C'est une petite église à nef, chevet et portail d'entrée au sud, romans. Le chevet est polygonal. Quatre chapelles ont été ajoutées ultérieurement. Nombreuses sculptures romanes (modillons, chapiteaux historiés, bas-relief).

Church of the 12th century built on the model of the chapel of Perse, at Estaing. It was first a priory united to the parish in 1487, then to the Annonciades of Rodez in 1517. After a fire in 1616, it underwent some modifications (lateral chapels, refection of vaults...). It is a small church with a nave, chevet and entrance portal to the south, all Romanesque. The chevet is polygonal. Four chapels were added later. Numerous Romanesque sculptures (modillions, historiated capitals, bas-relief).
