C'est un chevet semi circulaire sans doute voûté en cul de four autrefois et qui possède en plan un contrefort en son axe central percé d'une baie cintrée. A l'ouest, l'église a été complétée plus tard par un clocher porche du 13e siècle.

History
Former abbatial church of the Faget monastery, presenting a Romanesque chevet typical of Gers. It is a semi-circular chevet no doubt formerly vaulted with a cul-de-four and which has in plan a buttress on its central axis pierced by a round arch opening. To the west, the church was later completed by a 13th-century porch tower.
