History

The village existed in the Gallo-Roman period. Allenc was situated on the passage of a Roman road which subsequently crossed the Lot and passed at Lanuéjols. In the 12th century, the church belonged to the chapter of the cathedral of Mende. The barons of Allenc had chosen it as their burial place. Chevet of the 11th century. The construction of the nave extends from the 12th to the 15th century, with the addition of a facade surmounted by a bell tower "à pigne" of fairly rare arrangement. In 1607, a contract was drawn up to repair the ruins caused by the Wars of Religion. The granite church presents a choir on trefoil plan but the apse and the absidioles are pentagonal externally. The choir functions as the crossing and is vaulted with a barrel vault. The apse and the absidioles are vaulted with a cul de four vault. Sculptured capitals. The roof structures and coverings of the nave and of the crossing of the transept were remade in 1924.
