At that time, it was a former vicarage of the diocese of Périgueux, dependent on the abbey of Nanteuil-en-Vallée.

The nave now houses a well-preserved collection of 19th century neo-Gothic furniture. There is a Stations of the Cross, a pulpit, and a painting of Saint-Amand (5th century bishop of Bordeaux).

On the south wall of the nave, traces of a mural painting remain, unfortunately very damaged, but one of the figures can still be seen: a tonsured cleric.

These remains are a reminder that religious buildings were generally painted in medieval times. The painted scenes covered the interior space, more the sanctuary, reserved for the religious, than the nave where the laity were confined.
