History
Templar foundation from the late 12th century, which was under the jurisdiction of the diocese of Angoulême. The rectangular plan comprises three bays and develops with columns that supported the ribs of the vault, replaced by a coffered ceiling in the 20th century. The capitals are ornamented with acanthus leaves. The façade is decorated with three portals with moulded archivolts in the form of braiding. Capitals and column shafts are worked. An arcade bell tower with a single opening dominates the gable.
