A church dedicated to Saint Marcellin (311-353), the first bishop of Embrun, existed here already in the 12th century. The church got enlarged and altered within the 16th century, the present choir was consecrated in 1669. A narthex was added end of the 15th century. Six faces still flank the Romanesque side portal. There may have been a sculpted lintel and a tympanum, but these parts got lost.

The church got enlarged and altered within the 16th century, the present choir was consecrated in 1669. The narthex, seen here, was added end of the 15th century, re-using some parts of the 12th century building. Of the once probably two portal lions only one survived. The missing lion got replaced by an old baptismal font.
