The former abbey church of Saint-Antoine was built in the 14th century on the site of a previous Romanesque church.

In 1840, the church of the Abbey of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye, the mother monastery of the Antoniter order, was included in the list of monuments (Base Mérimée) in France as a monument historique.
