In 1097, during his stay in Souvigny, Pope Urban II confirmed by a bull the possession of the church to the prior of Souvigny. This possession was confirmed by a second bull of Pope Eugene III in 1152. The church was closed during the Revolution. It was only returned to worship in 1852
The Romanesque church was rebuilt in the 17th century (two chapels), then in the 19th century. Its three-span nave is unique and its choir is narrower. It has a trilobal tympanum portal and capitals adorned with curved leaves, heads and griffins.
