At the beginning of the 12th century, the church was mentioned as a possession of the Abbey of Déols. A Benedictine priory-cure must have existed. The building appears as a rural church from the 12th century to which a chapel was added to the south (16th century) and to the west a bell tower-porch (1861). The Romanesque church, without a transept, includes a rectangular nave covered in the 16th century with a paneled barrel vault, extended by a large rectangular apse ending in a flat apse. The apse retains historic capitals. A fragmentary painted decoration develops in two parallel registers on the north and south slopes of the choir vault. The scenes represented are taken from the childhood of Christ: Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity in the north; Journey and Adoration of the Magi in the South.
