The old church coverd an area of 360 m², the one that was built, the present one, covers 927 m².That time, it was decided, to demolish the choir and the nave dating from the 18th century, but the bell tower and its base have been kept.

The history of Hérival Priory goes back more than 900 years. In 1090, Engidalde built a hut in the Hérival valley. At the end of the 14th century, religious monks built a church and buildings in the Combeauté valley, marking the gradual abandonment of their eremitical character. A major reconstruction took place in the 18th century, but in 1789, peasants forcibly seized the property titles. The Priory was then listed as national property. In 1802, the church and monastic buildings were sold and demolished, leaving only the Logis des Hôtes, which had become a dwelling and farm. In the 19th century, the Fleurot family settled here, and one of their study skeletons is on display in the porch of the Logis des Hôtes. Today, although it is not possible to enter the private courtyard, information panels under the porch allow visitors to discover the history of the site.
