"Romanesque church built in the eleventh and thirteenth centuries on the foundations of a building dating back to the Merovingian period, then dedicated to Saint Julien de Brioude, Roman soldier martyred in Brioude in 304.

The very massive porch-bell tower is the oldest part (eleventh century), while the nave with flat bedside and its two side chapels, with its paneled vault is 13th century.

Inside, a beautiful 12th century painted wooden altarpiece recently restored, as well as several remarkable statues. "

Le clocher-porche très massif constitue la partie la plus ancienne (XIe siècle), tandis que la nef à chevet plat et ses deux chapelles latérales, avec sa voûte en lambris est du XIIIe siècle.

À l'intérieur, un beau retable en bois peint du XIIe siècle et récemment restauré, ainsi que plusieurs statues remarquables."
