Originally, it was a castral chapel given in 1225 to the abbey of the Chaise-Dieu by the bishop of Clermont. This chapel, enlarged in the 15th century, then became a parish church. The gable wall is pierced in its center by a portal with a pointed arch, surrounded by arches and pedestals, portal decorated with monumental sculptures. The entire building is covered by a double-pitched roof. A wooden bell tower, whose spire is covered with slate, overlooks the monument. The side walls are pierced by bays with pointed arches composed of two lancets; they are also joined by buttresses. The interior of the building remains an example of architecture from the 14th century (choir and two nave bays) and the 15th century (side and west nave bays) which are relatively rare in the region. The choir consists of a rectangular span and a polygonal apse. It is vaulted by six branches of warheads moulded from a large vault surmounted by a smaller vault on each side of the listel radiating from a large keystone carved with foliage and quartered with a figure head on the front. In the bedside, a chamfered door allows communication with the sacristy. Capitals carved with foliage, animal heads or characters.
