The church of the eleventh, twelfth and seventeenth centuries has no transept but a long vessel of five bays flanked by two collateral. The sculptures of the capitals decline the medieval symbolism. The furniture consists of baptismal fonts from the 12th and 13th centuries and a 15th century stone font from Volvic. MH.
The "caquetouer", added in the XVIIth century on the south facade, allows the parishioners to "caqueter" (chatting) sheltered from the bad weather at the exit of the offices.
This church is classified in the Inventory of Historical Monuments, Roman
