Description

The presbytery is located in an old little medieval fort. The church is also located inside this military enclosure. The construction of this fortification probably dates back to conflicts between the kings of France and the papacy, during the first years of the 14th century. This fortification was taken and pillaged in 1369. During the repair work, the church was added. The details and the architectural style of this second building reflect the design of the last years of the 14th century or the beginning of the 15th. At the same time, the summit of the ramparts was modified, replacing the slots and the merlons with openings adapted to firearms.
