The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église a été rebâtie, dans ses parties essentielles, par Guillaume de la Tour, évêque de Rodez. En 1466, l'église est érigée en collégiale et son chapitre se composait de six chanoines. La tribune a été ajoutée à la fin du 15e siècle. La première chapelle nord présente une voûte en étoile. A l'extérieur, deux contreforts circulaires contrebutent la poussée de la voûte de cette chapelle. Le clocher est moderne dans ses étages supérieurs. Les vitraux sont un don de François d'Estaing, évêque de Rodez (1504-1529).

The church was rebuilt, in its essential parts, by Guillaume de la Tour, bishop of Rodez. In 1466, the church was elevated to collegiate status and its chapter consisted of six canons. The gallery was added at the end of the 15th century. The first north chapel features a star vault. On the exterior, two circular buttresses counteract the thrust of the vault of this chapel. The bell tower is modern in its upper storeys. The stained-glass windows are a gift from François d'Estaing, bishop of Rodez (1504-1529).
