Traditional 16th-century two-sided cross with Christ on one side and the Virgin Mary on the other. Both are surrounded by small figures. The upright of the cross is fluted, as are the arms. The finials at either end of the cross have their tips embellished with a plant motif (a sort of staff decorated with crossbones), between two petals that fall on either side, extending parallel to the arms and uprights of the cross, around which they form a sort of openwork frame. This three-meter-high cross was moved from a disused cemetery to a new one, and placed on a modern plinth. CMH in 1963

The church was built in the 18th century (1762-1775). The building, with a straight chevet, is composed of a nave with three bays. A chapel is built on each of the north and south walls.

The public weighbridge is an architectural structure. In the Creuse region, it is usually located in the center of a village, or near a church or market place. It was used to determine the weight of any road vehicle or animals such as pigs or cows, or hay and straw etc., and then sell them at a price based on their weight. The Creuse region has preserved a number of these, sometimes even in working order.

Before 1789, the parish was under the authority of the diocese of Clermont, while the abbey of Chambon was responsible for its administration. In the 13th century, the main feature of the building was the barrel-roofed nave. The side chapels, which form a sort of transept with two small sacristies, date from the modern era. The western facade is topped by a bell-wall with two semicircular bays. IMH
