When Guillaume de Montbron gave, in 1070, the land of Fontclaireau to the cathedral chapter, it was up to the building of a church there, which was built shortly after. Almost completely destroyed by the Protestants, its reconstruction lasted from 1603 to 1651. Today it includes a capped nave without pilaster or buttress, as well as a bay, formerly under a cradle. A chapel has been added, to the south, at the end of the nave. The side walls are bare, the facade without decoration, and pierced with a door with a roller with, above, an elongated bay; the gable ends with a bell tower with an opening. It has a painting of Saint Vincent de Paul from the beginning of the 19th century, registered as a historical monument as an object since 1994.
