The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église, dont la construction remonte au 12e siècle, se compose d'une nef unique se terminant par un chevet plat et couverte par une charpente lambrissée. Une chapelle latérale lui a été accolée, côté nord, au 15e siècle, et son symétrique au sud au 17e siècle. Ces chapelles sont voûtées d'ogives. La façade occidentale est couronnée d'un clocher-peigne du 19e siècle. L'église, d'origine inconnue, était à la fin du 11e siècle la propriété de plusieurs seigneurs. En 1105 et 1154, deux bulles papales mentionnent l'église comme propriété de l'abbaye de Tulle.

The church, whose construction dates from the 12th century, comprises a single nave ending in a flat chevet and covered by a coffered roof structure. A lateral chapel was attached to it, on the north side, in the 15th century, and its counterpart on the south in the 17th century. These chapels are vaulted with ribs. The western façade is crowned by a 19th-century comb bell tower. The church, of unknown origin, was at the end of the 11th century the property of several lords. In 1105 and 1154, two papal bulls mention the church as property of the abbey of Tulle.
