In the 16th century, during the Wars of Religion, the church was burnt down by the Protestants and eleven priests were murdered. It is a Romanesque church with a trefoil plan, shaded by a lime tree of Sully. It seems to date back to the middle of the 12th century. The apse and the two chapels form a trefoil. The north chapel was originally semi-circular, not square. The chancel stretches in width, and a dome surmounts it, probably crowned in the past by a bell tower. Later, a wall-belfry was built on the façade and the dome was topped with a gable roof. The three Romanesque windows of the apse have rich columns on the outside.
