History
In 1050, Lancelin II contributes to the construction of the building by giving a right of toll and serfs. His son, Lancelin III, completes the construction in 1079 and erects it as a priory. Church with transepts, terminated by a circular apse with barrel vault. Near the bell tower is found a door which must have given access to the claustral buildings when the church was conventual. The quadrangular tower of the bell tower is pierced, on all its faces, by three arched openings.
