History
Church constructed in the 12th century and remodelled in the 15th, which was dependent on the former abbey of the Benedictines, burnt during the Wars of Religion. This church comprises a single nave, a transept and a quadrangular apse. From the Romanesque period there subsist the walls of the nave and the south arm of the transept, vaulted in barrel vault, as well as its absidiole. The apse was reconstructed in the 15th century, as well as the vaults of the nave and of the crossing of the transept. The windows of the north façade were remodelled at the same period. The capitals of the nave, of the transept and of the absidiole, are ornamented with figures, animals and foliage.
