The church has a special as it has a dual style: Romanesque and Gothic , Gothic architecture based on Romanesque architecture.
The narthex , the nave and transept are the only parts preserved Romanesque. They are arkose , which come from a limestone quarry north of the department. The nave of the church is 18 meters long, which is rather large (slightly larger than Notre-Dame du Port at Clermont-Ferrand ).
Gothic parts are: a chapter house (converted sacristy from the xvi th century) and a turret stairs pepper, the choir with its ambulatory and five radiating chapels. The choir is particularly long and impressive and was well liked by the canons Ennezat to enhance their prestige. Gothic parts are andesite , that is to say, lava stone (also called Volvic stone ), which gives a black color to this part Gothic, as opposed to the light color of the arkose.
The church has undergone many changes in the xix th century, during campaigns by local architect Mallay for Historical Monuments .
