The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Fondé vers le 11e siècle, le prieuré dépendait de l'abbaye Saint-Martin de l'Ile Barbe. A la fin du 15e siècle, éprouvé par la guerre de Cent ans, le prieuré tombe en commende. Touché par le passage des armées protestantes en 1562. Au 17e siècle, le prieuré est attribué aux Carmes Déchaussés de Lyon. A cette époque, sont exécutés des aménagements et une restauration suite aux guerres de Religion. A la Révolution, le bâtiment est sauvé par les habitants. La chapelle devient église paroissiale et subit des transformations durant la 2ème moitié du 19e siècle.

Founded around the 11th century, the priory was dependent on the abbey of Saint-Martin of the Ile Barbe. At the end of the 15th century, affected by the Hundred Years War, the priory falls into commendam. Affected by the passage of Protestant armies in 1562. In the 17th century, the priory is assigned to the Discalced Carmelites of Lyon. At that time, alterations are carried out and a restoration following the Wars of Religion. At the Revolution, the building is saved by the inhabitants. The chapel becomes a parish church and undergoes transformations during the 2nd half of the 19th century.
