The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1819, une ancienne grange dîmière romane du prieuré des religieux bénédictins est acquise afin d'y abriter le temple protestant. Il occupe toute la largeur et la longueur du bâtiment. Une tribune, desservie par un escalier s'ouvre sur le temple. Les murs peints sont ornés des tables de versets bibliques et le mobilier est celui d'origine. L'espace intérieur est constitué de rangées de chaises convergeant vers l'estrade qui supporte la chaire à prêcher. Cet espace est isolé par une double rangée de bancs. Il convient de souligner la qualité des aménagements de menuiserie, solides, presque austères.

In 1819, a former Romanesque tithe barn of the priory of Benedictine monks was acquired to house the Protestant temple. It occupies the full width and length of the building. A gallery, accessed by a staircase, opens onto the temple. The painted walls are decorated with tables of biblical verses and the furniture is the original. The interior space consists of rows of chairs converging towards the dais which supports the pulpit. This space is isolated by a double row of pews. It is worth highlighting the quality of the woodwork fittings, solid, almost austere.
