The church is an important building of the late 15th century built in the late Gothic style.
Burned and half ruined by the Protestants, it was the subject of a complete restoration that gave it its present appearance.
If from the 14th century, the bishops of Sarlat made the castle of Issigeac one of their favorite residences, Bishop Francis II of Salignac de la Mothe-Fénélon will completely restore the church according to the principles of the liturgical reform of the 17th century.
Classified as a Historical Monument, it undergoes, after the restoration of the central nave, a rehabilitation of the south collateral.
It is decorated with a beautiful furniture of the eighteenth.
