The chorus(choir) of the church of Nativité-de-Notre-Dame dates most probably the second half of the 12th century. The nave could also date of this time(period) or at least of medieval time(period), but would have later been altered at the level of bays(berries). The building is registered in conformance with(for) historic monuments in 1925\. The abbot Roussel mentions repairs made in the church in 1725 and specifies that the nave was rebuilt in 1820 and in 1833\. It would rather be necessary to understand(include) that she(it) was twice restored in these dates, in particular in 1833 when a vault and walls collapsed. The west part(party) of the nave topped with the bell tower is a probable addition of the first half of the 16th century as the bay(berry) of the northwest angle certifies it. This space was indicated(appointed) under the name of Saint-Renobert, because an altar devoted to this saint had been established there in the 16th century.
