The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église fut consacrée en 1236 et avait pour patrons et décimateurs le chapitre d'Uzerte et le prieuré de Villaudron. Seule une partie de l'abside romane reste apparente. Les bas-côtés furent restaurés et mis à la hauteur de la nef principale aux 18e et 19e siècles. La nef se termine par trois absides circulaires. Presque tous les chapiteaux romans sont à feuillage, quatre d'entre eux sont historiés. Le clocher n'est pas d'origine. Il se présente comme une tour carrée en pierre et briques.

The church was consecrated in 1236 and had as patrons and tithe-receivers the chapter of Uzerte and the priory of Villaudron. Only part of the Romanesque apse remains visible. The aisles were restored and raised to the height of the main nave in the 18th and 19th centuries. The nave terminates in three circular apses. Almost all the Romanesque capitals are foliate, four of them are historiated. The bell tower is not original. It presents itself as a square tower in stone and brick.
