History
In 1195, the church was dependent on Saint-Léonard. In 1250, Sauviat was the head of a bailiwick entrusted to the administration of a canon of the church of Limoges. The building presents a single nave and a straight chevet. The south chapel was added in the 17th century. The bell tower is massive, on a square plan, and presents on each of its faces a round-arch opening. It is covered with a roof with an imperial top, surmounted by a small square bell-turret with a short octagonal spire. The whole of the choir and nave is covered with a plaster ceiling.
