The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La fondation doit remonter au 12e siècle. L'église relevait de la juridiction des Bénédictins de la Daurade, et date du 15e siècle. Le clocher octogonal paraît être antérieur. Les parois intérieures sont couvertes de fresques néo-gothiques réalisées par Bernard Bénézet.

History
The foundation must date to the 12th century. The church came under the jurisdiction of the Benedictines of la Daurade, and dates from the 15th century. The octagonal bell tower appears to be earlier. The interior walls are covered with neo-Gothic frescoes executed by Bernard Bénézet.
