In 1117 the Bishop of Périgueux gave the parish of St Colombe to Charroux Abbey whose abbot became its patron. The parish later received, by royal nomination, the title of priorship of the St Benoît Order.

In 1789 the parish St Colombe requested unity with the « Committee » of Lalinde and in 1790 renounced its autonomy to become the « Northern Section » of Lalinde. Following the Concordat (the agreement between pope and sovereign ) St Colombe was definitively united with the parish of Lalinde and became a succursal chapel in 1875.

The south chapel was renovated by the Valette de Finou family, Seigneurs of the Landes, in the eighteenth century.
The church nave has two bays which lead into the transept and a chancel with a flat apse.
