Built on the site where the chapel of the same name stood, mentioned in the 9th century, it replaced the original parish church located outside the walls of Saint-Cels. It was a modest size to begin with. It was damaged on several occasions during the Wars of Religion (1568-1578). It was subsequently rebuilt and extended between 1582 and 1695. During this rebuilding programme the church grew to its current size.
Inside: Organ from the end of the 18th century credited to J. B. Micot...Built on the site where the chapel of the same name stood, mentioned in the 9th century, it replaced the original parish church located outside the walls of Saint-Cels.
