This church was a priory-cure at the appointment of the abbot of Valence or Saint-Ruf-en-Dauphiné. Built in the 11th and then in the 12th century, on a building from the Merovingian period, the church is surrounded by an exterior embankment on an old Merovingian cemetery. Built in the shape of a Latin cross, this building has a nave of four bays (12th and 15th century), a transept (11th century) flanked by two apsidioles and a choir (11th - 13th century) ending in the shape of an apse with cul oven. The western facade, dating back to the 14th century, opens with a molded portal, flanked on the right by a three-lobed niche and surmounted by a similar window. On the north side, the nave is pierced with a Merovingian door. Inside the nave, the upper part of the 12th century columns was taken over in the 15th to receive the primers for the ribs of an unfinished vault. A plaster ceiling replaces it. On the crossing of the transept was a dome on horns, ovoid, surmounted by a Romanesque bell tower and a modern spire. A fire in 1943 destroyed the spire and dome.
