The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise d'origine romane remaniée par les commandeurs de l'ordre de Malte qui l'aménagèrent en résidence et en forteresse. L'intérieur du sanctuaire est celui d'une église gothique dotée de son décor et de son mobilier du 19e siècle. Son originalité réside surtout dans le logis du commandeur dont les peintures murales du 15e siècle représentent des scènes de chasse à la façon d'une tapisserie.

Church of Romanesque origin remodelled by the commanders of the Order of Malta who fitted it out as a residence and fortress. The interior of the sanctuary is that of a Gothic church furnished with its decoration and furnishings from the 19th century. Its originality lies particularly in the commander's lodging whose 15th-century murals represent hunting scenes in the manner of a tapestry.
