The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Dans une bulle de 1154, mention est faite de l'église comme de l'une des propriétés des moines de Tulle. Cette église devint le siège d'une prévôté, dépendance de l'abbaye. De l'église primitive, édifiée à l'époque romane, ne subsistent plus que l'abside à pans coupés dont le larmier est porté par des corbeaux à figures. La travée du choeur montre, à l'intérieur, de beaux chapiteaux historiés. Les chapelles latérales, qui forment un faux transept sont d'époque gothique. La chapelle sud a été remaniée au 19e siècle. La nef fut détruite vers 1660 par un incendie. Le reste de l'édifice a été reconstruit vers 1880.

History
In a bull of 1154, mention is made of the church as one of the possessions of the monks of Tulle. This church became the seat of a provostry, dependency of the abbey. Of the primitive church, built in the Romanesque period, there remain only the chamfered apse whose drip moulding is borne by corbels with figures. The choir bay shows, on the interior, fine historiated capitals. The lateral chapels, which form a false transept, are of Gothic period. The south chapel was remodelled in the 19th century. The nave was destroyed around 1660 by fire. The remainder of the building was rebuilt around 1880.
