This prieurale church depending on the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ahun, diocese of Limoges, was built in the 12th century. The roof structure was remade in 1712 and the building raised at this period. An important restoration was carried out in 1974. The south lateral door, of the 15th century, would be a reused element coming from Saint-Amand-Montrond.
