The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Exemple rare en Limousin d'édifice de ce type parvenu jusqu'à nous avec ses voûtes en berceau d'origine. Edifiée au 13e siècle, cette petite église, de structure encore romane, montre l'apparition dans le Limousin de l'art gothique qui se manifeste ici dans le tracé du portail, la brisure de la voûte de la nef, les profils des tailloirs, des chapiteaux et des contreforts. La chapelle latérale nord date du 15e siècle. La façade principale se termine par un clocher-pignon à deux arcades. Attestée en 1282, l'église appartenait à l'ordre des Templiers. Vers 1311, elle est cédée à l'ordre de Malte et dépend de Belle Chassagne. Elle est ensuite rattachée à Tulle.

History
Rare example in Limousin of a building of this type that has come down to us with its original barrel vaults. Built in the 13th century, this small church, of still Romanesque structure, shows the appearance in Limousin of Gothic art which manifests itself here in the design of the portal, the pointed character of the vault of the nave, the profiles of the tailloirs, the capitals and the buttresses. The north side chapel dates from the 15th century. The main facade ends with a porch tower with two arcades. Attested in 1282, the church belonged to the order of the Templars. Around 1311, it was ceded to the order of Malta and depended on Belle Chassagne. It was subsequently attached to Tulle.
