The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église conserve une porte romane, sans doute le dernier vestige de l'église primitive ; un choeur de deux travées du 15e siècle ; une chapelle latérale de la fin de l'époque gothique ; une nef romane entièrement remise en état et dont les voûtes ont été refaites en anse de panier après la Révolution. La façade occidentale date du 17e siècle et provient du monastère de Puyberland, de même que le retable, tous deux remontés dans l'église après avoir été pillés.

History
The church retains a Romanesque door, probably the last remnant of the primitive church; a choir of two bays from the 15th century; a lateral chapel from the late Gothic period; a Romanesque nave entirely restored and whose vaults were remade in a basket handle arch after the Revolution. The western façade dates from the 17th century and comes from the monastery of Puyberland, as does the retable, both set up in the church after being pillaged.
