The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut le chef-lieu d'un prieuré de la fin du 13e au début du 16e siècle. Primitivement, la cure appartint à l'hospitalier de l'abbaye de Moissac. La construction a été réalisée au 13e siècle par Alphonse de Poitiers. Ruinée pendant les guerres de Religion et rebâtie au 17e siècle, l'église a été reconstruite en 1864. Seul le clocher du 13e siècle a été conservé. Ce dernier appartient à la lignée des clochers de briques de l'école toulousaine. Construit sur une base carrée, il a conservé deux étages aux colonnettes de briques aux angles.

History
The church was the seat of a priory from the late 13th to the early 16th century. Originally, the cure belonged to the hospitaller of the abbey of Moissac. The construction was carried out in the 13th century by Alphonse de Poitiers. Ruined during the Wars of Religion and rebuilt in the 17th century, the church was reconstructed in 1864. Only the 13th-century bell tower was preserved. The latter belongs to the line of brick bell towers of the Toulouse school. Built on a square base, it has retained two storeys with brick small columns at the angles.
