The church sanctuary and the choir that follows it date from the Romanesque period. Outside, there are sections cut with semicircular arc windows. You can also see sculpted crows. Inside, there are decorated capitals, one of which shows two warriors in vintage outfit fighting. Another marquee represents Saint-Pierre holding the keys and giving the butt to Saint-Martial. The choir is surmounted by a square bell tower.
