The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La première église fut construite au 9e siècle par le duc d'Alluys, seigneur de Vaujours. Elle fut reconstruite en partie au 15e siècle en conservant le mur nord et le mur ouest. Vers le milieu du 16e siècle, devenue trop petite, l'église est agrandie et la charpente fut continuée dans le style du 15e siècle. L'un des vitraux semble dater du 14e siècle, et représente Sainte-Catherine et Sainte-Barbe. Quatre autres vitraux datent du 16e siècle.

History
The first church was built in the 9th century by the duke of Alluys, lord of Vaujours. It was partly rebuilt in the 15th century, retaining the north wall and the west wall. Towards the middle of the 16th century, having become too small, the church is enlarged and the roof structure was continued in the 15th-century style. One of the windows appears to date from the 14th century, and represents Saint Catherine and Saint Barbara. Four other windows date from the 16th century.
