The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle, reprise à la fin du 14e, à l'époque des Grandes Compagnies pour résister à un assaut. Une intéressante échauguette de défense à trois mâchicoulis ornés d'arcatures trilobées est placée au chevet. Le plan comportait primitivement deux chapelles à chevet plat sur les bras du transept. Le portail ouest viendrait, selon la tradition orale, du monastère voisin des Célestins des Ternes, et aurait été remonté sur l'église après la démolition du monastère, à la fin du 18e siècle.

History
Church of the 12th century, reworked at the end of the 14th, at the time of the Great Companies to resist an assault. An interesting defensive echauguette with three machicolations ornamented with trilobate arcatures is placed at the chevet. The plan originally comprised two chapels with flat chevets on the arms of the transept. The west portal would come, according to local tradition, from the neighbouring monastery of the Celestines at Ternes, and was supposedly remounted on the church after the demolition of the monastery at the end of the 18th century.
