Description

The 12th-13th-century Romanesque church comprises a single nave with substructures that may date back to the 11th century. It was fortified during the Wars of Religion (15th-16th). In 1983, the sacristy and the chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary collapsed in the same night and were not rebuilt. Inside is a treasure trove of Limousin silverware, including a statue-reliquary of the true cross depicting a deacon, possibly Saint Etienne de Muret, and the arm-reliquary of Saint Félicien. In 2003, frescoes from the south door to 2/3 of the north wall were discovered, the oldest and best preserved dating from the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
