The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église portait le nom de Saint-Médard et appartenait à des chanoines réguliers suivant la règle de Saint-Augustin. La première mention de l'église n'apparaît qu'en 1165. De 1304 à la Révolution, le monastère de la Clastre devient commanderie générale d'Antonins. Après la Révolution, l'église est affectée au culte paroissial. La nef est agrandie d'une travée entre 1858 et 1862. La seconde travée a conservé sa structure romane avec ses pilastres, ses arcs de décharge latéraux et le départ de sa voûte ancienne. La travée de choeur servait de base au clocher dont il ne reste qu'une partie du mur ouest. Une porte du 15e siècle, avec arc en anse de panier et mouluré torique, mène à la sacristie.

History
The church bore the name of Saint-Médard and belonged to regular canons following the rule of Saint-Augustine. The first mention of the church appears only in 1165. From 1304 to the Revolution, the monastery of the Clastre becomes a general commandery of the Antonians. After the Revolution, the church is assigned to parish worship. The nave is enlarged by one bay between 1858 and 1862. The second bay has retained its Romanesque structure with its pilasters, its lateral relieving arches and the beginning of its old vault. The choir bay served as the base for the bell tower of which only part of the west wall remains. A 15th-century door, with a basket-handle arch and torus moulding, leads to the sacristy.
