The church, built between 1840 and 1843 by architect Paul Abadie, replaced a 12th-century Romanesque building connected to Saint-Cybard Abbey.
The church houses a 19th-century organ manufactured by Cavaillé-Coll, which received Historical Monument status for its heritage value.

The crossing features an elevated dome with an oculus topped by a lantern, creating a distinctive silhouette in the urban landscape.
