The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Une première église fut construite au 12e siècle et donnée aux Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem qui établirent leur monastère à côté. Au 16e siècle, l'édifice est entièrement reconstruit. Il comprenait une nef en briques de style gothique méridional. Quatre chapelles latérales furent ajoutées au 17e siècle. En 1693, le clocher s'effondre et est remplacé par une tour appartenant aux chevaliers de Jérusalem, et qui faisait partie de leur "château". La tour comporte, en rez-de-chaussée, la chapelle du grand prieur et, à l'étage, la salle capitulaire dont les voûtes ont conservé les culots sculptés. En 1845, la voûte est ornée de peintures de Pédoya.

History
A first church was built in the 12th century and given to the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean of Jerusalem who established their monastery beside it. In the 16th century, the building is entirely rebuilt. It comprised a nave in brick of southern Gothic style. Four lateral chapels were added in the 17th century. In 1693, the bell tower collapsed and was replaced by a tower belonging to the Knights of Jerusalem, and which formed part of their "castle". The tower comprises, on the ground floor, the chapel of the grand prior and, on the upper storey, the chapter house whose vaults have retained the sculpted corbels. In 1845, the vault is adorned with paintings by Pédoya.
