Church that has kept its nave flanked by narrow aisles from the Romanesque period and its transept is topped by a dome.

The 12th-century building retains its Romanesque nave flanked by narrow aisles and a transept topped by a cupola. The choir dates from 1555, and the chapels from the 17th and 18th centuries. A semicircular apsidal chapel and bell tower were added in the 19th century. This is the winter residence of Notre-Dame-de-Vassivière, who in July takes up summer residence in the Vassivière chapel above Super-Besse. The capitals feature scenes combining biblical figures, animals and other characters from the traditional Auvergne repertoire.

très vielle église 12ème /13ème siècles qui se singularise par la juxtaposition d'événement soit sculpté ou peint mêlant des personnages religieux des êtres humains locaux et des animaux .Le tout fait une oeuvre très pittoresque
