The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise d'époque romane dont elle conserve le choeur à abside semi-circulaire. Selon une disposition caractéristique de la région de Mauriac, ses baies sont surmontées d'archivoltes reliées formant cordon de billettes et contournant les deux colonnes engagées. La corniche est supportée par des modillons historiés. Hormis le portail sud ajouté au 13e siècle, le reste de l'édifice a été reconstruit aux 15e (nef) et 16e (chapelles) siècles.

Church of Romanesque period of which it preserves the choir with semi-circular apse. According to a characteristic arrangement of the Mauriac region, its openings are surmounted by relieved archivolts forming a beading cord and surrounding the two engaged columns. The cornice is supported by historiated modillions. Apart from the south portal added in the 13th century, the rest of the building was rebuilt in the 15th (nave) and 16th (chapels) centuries.
