The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'origine de l'oratoire serait très ancienne. L'édifice actuel doit avoir remplacé une construction antérieure et date de la fin du 16e siècle. Profané puis abandonné au cours des guerres de Religion, l'oratoire est rendu au culte en 1634 sur l'ordre de l'évêque de Cahors. L'oratoire est de plan carré, à une seule travée sur croisée d'ogives. La voûte, écroulée en 1948, a été remplacée par un plafond en panneaux d'Isorel. La façade principale est percée d'une grande arcade en plein cintre, encadrée de pilastres reposant sur des stylobates.

The origins of the oratory would be very ancient. The present building must have replaced an earlier construction and dates from the end of the 16th century. Desecrated and then abandoned during the Wars of Religion, the oratory was returned to worship in 1634 on the orders of the bishop of Cahors. The oratory is of square plan, with a single bay on rib vault. The vault, which collapsed in 1948, was replaced by a ceiling of Isorel panels. The main façade is pierced by a large round arch opening, framed by pilasters resting on stylobates.
