The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Prieuré fondé dès 1075. Les bâtiments réguliers médiévaux, en grande partie ruinés, furent totalement détruits en 1770 et remplacés par un ensemble (hôtel prioral et église) selon les plans de l'architecte François II Franque de 1773 à 1777. Corps de logis en brique et pierre. Eglise très dépouillée extérieurement, mais richement décorée à l'intérieur (voûte à caissons construite de 1774 à 1777).

Priory founded as early as 1075. The medieval regular buildings, largely in ruins, were completely destroyed in 1770 and replaced by an ensemble (prioral house and church) according to the plans of architect François II Franque from 1773 to 1777. Dwelling body in brick and stone. Church very austere externally, but richly decorated internally (coffered vault built from 1774 to 1777).
