The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le hameau formait autrefois une paroisse, réunie à celle de Faye en 1799. L'église fut alors vendue par décret en 1813. De l'église subsiste la nef dont la façade occidentale est percée d'une porte en arc brisé à deux rouleaux, dont le second retombe sur des chapiteaux ornés de feuillages. La nef est couverte d'une charpente refaite au 15e siècle, et a conservé des traces de peintures. Elle était reliée au choeur, disparu, par une arcade en arc brisé. Elle est utilisée comme grange.

The hamlet formerly formed a parish, united with that of Faye in 1799. The church was then sold by decree in 1813. Of the church remains the nave whose western façade is pierced with a broken arch door with two rolls, the second of which rests on capitals decorated with foliage. The nave is covered with roof structure remade in the 15th century, and has retained traces of paintings. It was connected to the disappeared choir by a broken arch. It is used as a barn.
