Historique
Cure de l'ancien archiprêtré de Limoges. L'église s'élevait à côté du château des évêques de Limoges, près des dépendances. L'édifice paraît dater du 13e siècle, avec son clocher-mur pignon d'un type fréquent dans la région. La nef unique à trois travées d'origine a été complétée plus tard par une chapelle. La façade occidentale est percée d'un portail limousin en arc brisé à trois voussures. La frise-chapiteau est sculptée de crochets. Le chevet est de plan carré.

History
Rectory of the former archpriest district of Limoges. The church stood beside the castle of the bishops of Limoges, near the outbuildings. The building appears to date from the 13th century, with its gable bell tower wall of a type common in the region. The single nave with three original bays was later completed by a chapel. The western facade is pierced by a Limousin portal with a broken arch with three voussures. The frieze-capital is sculptured with crockets. The chevet is of square plan.
