Dedicated to Saint Philippe and Saint Jacques, the church of St Simon de Bordes was originally a 12th century construction (the facade and the two eastern bays) later taken over at the beginning of the Gothic period (the two western bays and the vaulting warheads).
Of the bell tower, only a stair tower remains. During the Hundred Years War, the church lost its bell tower. Since then, the roof has been surmounted by a small campanile which houses a bell cast in 1507, initially for the church of Villexavier.
The restored Romanesque façade is flanked by two buttressed volumes. Between 1850 and 1851, my right apse and my north transept were built. In 1887 I was offered my south brace.
The ground floor has only a porch with bare arches, with thin columns. On the first floor there is a blind arcade of six arches on simple columns. Above, a centered window with deep molded arches is surmounted by an open bay in a pointed gable. The north and south walls, ending in a modillion cornice, are pierced with long windows decorated with rolls and diamond points. The north wall bears at its western end a campanile with a bay.
Inside, there are three arched bays, whose ribs rest on bundles of five columns with capitals decorated with plant motifs and scrolls, dating from the 13th century. The apse is square in plan, narrower than the nave. It was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, like the two arms of the transept.
The church is listed as a Historic Monument by order of December 5, 2000.
