Origins
The abbey dates from the eighth century: in 804 it was given to St Martial de Limoges but was pillaged in 860 by the Normans and was rebuilt several times only to be destroyed again. In 1703 it was attached to Périgueux Seminary.

What to See
The church has a rectangular, twelfth-century chancel whose rib vaulting dates from the fourteenth century. The nave was built in the fifteenth and the rib vaulting which covers it was reconstructed in brick in the nineteenth century. The porch bell tower, however, has not been touched since it was built in the twelfth century.
