The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église était primitivement un prieuré rattaché à la chantrerie de l'abbaye de Marcilhac. L'église se compose d'une nef terminée par un choeur semi-circulaire. Deux chapelles latérales sont accolées au sud (19e siècle) et au nord, à l'entrée du choeur. La façade occidentale est dominée par un haut clocher. L'édifice a été fortifié au 14e siècle : deux consoles sur le mur sud devaient soutenir des mâchicoulis. Il semble que durant la guerre de Cent as, une salle refuge ait été aménagée sur l'extrados des voûtes. Le mur du maître-autel est orné de peintures du 16e siècle.

History
The church was originally a priory attached to the cantonry of the abbey of Marcilhac. The church comprises a nave terminated by a semi-circular choir. Two lateral chapels are appended to the south (19th century) and to the north, at the entrance of the choir. The western façade is dominated by a high bell tower. The building was fortified in the 14th century: two corbels on the south wall were to support machicolations. It appears that during the Hundred Years War, a refuge hall was arranged on the extrados of the vaults. The wall of the high altar is decorated with paintings of the 16th century.
