This is one of the six Romanesque churches in the new commune of Montmoreau. It is located in the heart of a very hilly landscape, perched on top of a hill, and offers a beautiful view of the center of Montmoreau. The construction of this Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century. At that time, it was a former vicarage of the diocese of Périgueux, dependent on the abbey of Nanteuil-en-Vallée. The nave now houses a set of well-preserved neo-Gothic furniture from the 19th century. There are a Stations of the Cross, a pulpit, and a painting of Saint-Amand (Bishop of Bordeaux in the 5th century). On the south wall of the nave, there are traces of a wall painting that is unfortunately very damaged, but one of the characters can still be distinguished: a light tonsured man. These remains are a reminder that religious buildings were generally painted in medieval times. The painted scenes covered the interior space, more the sanctuary, reserved for the religious, than the nave where the laity were confined.
