History
Originally a chapel of the castle of which one can still see a tower, the chapel was built at the end of the 10th century and is one of the oldest religious buildings in Rouergue. It possesses a rectangular chevet decorated with paintings of the 15th century, a barrel vault and a timber-framed nave separated from the chevet by a triumphal arch.
