The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église appartient au prieuré voisin de Molières. Petit édifice à nef unique, terminé par un choeur voûté en cul de four orné de peintures gothiques. Sur la voûte de l'abside se voit un Christ d'aspect byzantin montrant ses plaies et entouré du trétramorphe, attribué au 13e siècle. Sur les murs, datant vraisemblablement du 14e siècle, se trouvent à droite l'Annonciation, à gauche les rois mages portant leurs présents à l'Enfant Jésus. Deux chapelles donnent à l'église la forme de la croix, avec des fresques visibles sous l'enduit du transept sud. L'ancienne entrée se situait au sud.

History
The church belongs to the neighbouring priory of Molières. Small building with a single nave, terminated by a choir with an apse vault decorated with Gothic paintings. On the vault of the apse is seen a Christ of Byzantine aspect showing his wounds and surrounded by the tetramorph, attributed to the 13th century. On the walls, probably dating from the 14th century, are found on the right the Annunciation, on the left the Magi bearing their gifts to the Christ Child. Two chapels give the church the form of a cross, with frescos visible beneath the render of the south transept. The former entrance was on the south.
