The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce lieu est mentionné dès la fin du 11e siècle parmi les possessions de l'abbaye de Moissac et c'est sans doute sous l'influence de cette abbaye que fut construite l'église romane. Plus tard, la paroisse fut cédée au chapitre de Lectoure dont les évêques y avaient une maison de campagne. Le chevet peut être attribué au 12e siècle. Il a conservé quatre chapiteaux romans. La nef, refaite à la fin du 15e siècle, a été remaniée par la suite, surtout lors de la construction de la voûte actuelle, en 1869. Le portail flamboyant est conservé, avec son feuillage ajouré et ses crosses végétales. Flanquant la chapelle de gauche, se trouve la base d'une tour semi-cylindrique appelée Tour Sainte-Barbe dont l'escalier à vis conduirait à un clocher disparu, sans doute roman.

History
This place is mentioned from the end of the 11th century among the possessions of the abbey of Moissac and it is doubtless under the influence of this abbey that the Romanesque church was built. Later, the parish was ceded to the chapter of Lectoure, whose bishops had a country house there. The chevet can be attributed to the 12th century. It has retained four Romanesque capitals. The nave, remade at the end of the 15th century, was subsequently altered, especially during the construction of the present vault in 1869. The Flamboyant portal is preserved, with its open-work foliage and its vegetable crooks. Flanking the left chapel, is found the base of a semi-cylindrical tower called Tour Sainte-Barbe, the spiral staircase of which would lead to a disappeared bell tower, doubtless Romanesque.
