The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église appartenait à l'abbaye du Mas d'Azil par suite de la donation d'un certain Amélius, vers 1085. De cette époque datent le porche et le clocher. La reconstruction du reste de l'édifice et les peintures murales datent du 15e siècle. La nef unique se termine par un choeur à cinq pans coupés. Le clocher roman se présente comme un clocher muraille. La partie sud de l'avant-porche est occupée par un petit oratoire voûté d'ogives. La plus grande partie du décor peint recouvre tout le choeur et la paroi murale nord, cette dernière pouvant être un vestige de la première construction romane.

The church belonged to the abbey of Mas d'Azil as a result of the donation of a certain Amélius, around 1085. The porch and bell tower date from this period. The reconstruction of the rest of the building and the wall paintings date from the 15th century. The single nave ends in a choir with five cut-off sides. The Romanesque bell tower presents itself as a bell-wall. The southern part of the entrance porch is occupied by a small oratory with a rib vault. The greater part of the painted decoration covers the entire choir and the northern wall, the latter possibly being a vestige of the first Romanesque construction.
