The full title of the church is: "Église de l'Assomption-de-la-Vierge de Montarcher", so it has the patronage "Assumption of Mary". The (Catholic) Church celebrates this feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven every year on August 15th.

The church consists of a Romanesque choir and a nave built in the 12th century, flanked by two 15th century chapels. The beam of glory, which separates the choir from the nave, dates from the 15th or 16th century. It tells about the creation of the world.
