The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1032, on rencontre une mention de l'église Saint-Sylvain, sous le patronage de l'abbaye bénédictine Saint-Sulpice de Bourges. Lors du second quart du 12e siècle est construite l'église actuelle, à l'époque église prieurale. A la fin du 12e siècle est édifié un clocher latéral. Au 15e siècle, la charpente de la nef est reconstruite, et au 17e siècle, une sacristie est ajoutée contre le mur latéral nord, remplacée en 1837 par une autre, côté sud. Des voûtes d'ogives sont édifiées sur la nef en 1885. En 1951, les parties hautes du clocher ont subi une réfection complète.

In 1032, a mention is found of the church of Saint-Sylvain, under the patronage of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Sulpice of Bourges. During the second quarter of the 12th century the present church was built, at that time a priory church. At the end of the 12th century a lateral bell tower was erected. In the 15th century, the roof structure of the nave was rebuilt, and in the 17th century, a sacristy was added against the north side wall, replaced in 1837 by another, on the south side. Rib vaults were built over the nave in 1885. In 1951, the upper parts of the bell tower underwent complete renovation.
