The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église appartenait à un prieuré dépendant de l'abbaye de Saint-Cyran. Le prieuré de Rosnay fut supprimé en 1712, et le patronage de l'église fut confié à l'archevêque de Bourges. L'église fut entièrement reconstruite dans la seconde moitié du 15e siècle. Elle se compose d'une nef unique rectangulaire, précédée d'un clocher-porche et terminée par un choeur à chevet plat. A l'exception du clocher-porche, qui paraît avoir été bâti au 17e siècle ou au 18e siècle, les autres parties constituantes appartiennent à la campagne du 15e siècle. L'intérieur conserve un ensemble de peintures murales recouvrant les murs de la nef et du choeur.

History
The church belonged to a priory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Cyran. The priory of Rosnay was suppressed in 1712, and the patronage of the church was entrusted to the archbishop of Bourges. The church was entirely rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century. It comprises a single rectangular nave, preceded by a porch tower and terminated by a choir with a flat chevet. With the exception of the porch tower, which appears to have been built in the 17th or 18th century, the other constituent parts belong to the 15th-century campaign. The interior preserves a set of mural paintings covering the walls of the nave and choir.
