The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Dépendance de l'abbaye d'Aniane, la "villa" d'Argelliers fut donnée à ce monastère par Fredol, évêque du Puy, vers le début du 11e siècle. Le style "lombard" de l'église ayant un caractère assez tardif, sa construction a dû être entreprise après 1114. Deux campagnes sont visibles, l'abside et l'amorce du choeur présentant un appareil et des parements différents de ceux de la nef et de la partie haute du choeur. Le porche a été placé postérieurement, soit au cours du 12e siècle soit au début du 13e siècle. Au 14e siècle, les murs furent surélevés, probablement pour fortifier l'édifice. L'élévation du clocher, jusqu'à la base de l'étage campanaire actuel, doit dater de cette nouvelle campagne. La superstructure du clocher carré date du 17e siècle.

History
A dependency of the abbey of Aniane, the "villa" of Argelliers was given to this monastery by Fredol, bishop of the Puy, around the early 11th century. The "Lombard" style of the church having a fairly late character, its construction must have been undertaken after 1114. Two building campaigns are visible, the apse and the start of the choir presenting masonry and facing different from those of the nave and the upper part of the choir. The porch was placed later, either during the 12th century or at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 14th century, the walls were raised, probably to fortify the building. The elevation of the bell tower, up to the base of the current bell-chamber storey, must date from this new campaign. The superstructure of the square bell tower dates from the 17th century.
