This building has a simple architecture with a choir, a single rectangular nave with two vaulted bays and four pillars, a three-sided apse and a bell tower.
Its bell tower is a square tower; until the revolution, it had crenellations. These were destroyed by the revolutionaries because they represented a symbol of feudalism. They were later reinstalled and then removed again at the end of the 20th century.
The church is built on the rocks; massive buttresses support the walls and the apse of the building.
The basalt door on the entrance façade is surmounted by a triangular pediment and overlooks the church square.
The church is located at the northern entrance to the village. To the south of the church is the presbytery.
The church houses a reliquary of Saint Lawrence, the village's patron saint, a gilded Virgin Mary, and numerous paintings. A very old white marble holy water font adorned with four 16th-century angels' heads, as well as a fragment of a Spanish-style Christ, are located in the sacristy.
The Gift of the Rosary is probably the work of Coriolano Malagavazo.
The modern style Stations of the Cross were created by Roger Roux in 1968. The stained glass windows are the work of the Aveyron master Claude Baillon.
The story goes that the bishop, wishing to consecrate this new church, encountered the reluctance of the parish priest, who feared the ceremony would incur expenses; to avoid them, he thought of nothing better than to disappear. The consecration ceremony proceeded normally despite his absence.
