The first church in the Val d'Ajol looks more like a small chapel. It stands on the only hillock bordering the valley. Judged too small, a new church was built in the 16th century on the Place du Sô.
The oldest part of the church dates from the 16th century, and successive extensions were built up to the 18th century to accommodate the growing number of worshippers.
Following the earthquake of 1682, the church tower became unsafe. It was built on unstable ground. It was consolidated in 1734 by the construction of this portico. The portico is made up of 3 porches, each of which corresponds to the nave and aisles of the church. The bell tower houses 4 bells. Finally, its roof is covered in Lava stone.
Numerous elements inside the church were listed as historic monuments in 1926:
- an 18th-century altarpiece
- a 16th-century Christ on the Cross
- a 15th-century piéta
