The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le prieuré de Sainte-Croix dépendait de Notre-Dame de Font-Douce. De l'église qui se terminait par un chevet plat, subsistent deux piliers engagés qui séparaient le choeur de la croisée et qui ont conservé des chapiteaux ornés de crochets. Deux chapelles ouvraient sur le transept. Des bâtiments réguliers qui s'élevaient au nord de l'église, il reste un fragment de façade occidentale avec une porte aux montants moulurés qu'une accolade décore à son sommet. Cette porte ouvre sur un escalier de pierre avec noyau central. Au-dessus, une fenêtre rectangulaire a conservé son appui orné de feuillages du 15e siècle.

The priory of Sainte-Croix depended on Notre-Dame de Font-Douce. Of the church which ended with a flat chevet, two engaged pillars remain that separated the choir from the crossing and which have preserved capitals ornamented with crockets. Two chapels opened onto the transept. Of the conventional buildings which stood to the north of the church, there remains a fragment of western façade with a door whose uprights are moulded and decorated with a label stop at its top. This door opens onto a stone staircase with a central newel. Above, a rectangular window has preserved its sill ornamented with foliage from the 15th century.
