Its foundation dates back to around 1161 or 1180, following a donation from Rainfroid I, lord of Montpezat, before his departure for the Third Crusade.

After the dissolution of the Order of the Temple in the early 14th century, the commandery was transferred to the Order of the Hospitallers. It was they, particularly under the impetus of commander Bernard Gros at the end of the 15th century, who rebuilt the site and revived the village's activity after the ravages of the Hundred Years' War.

The church was largely rebuilt in the 16th century, reusing some walls of the former commandery, then modified and restored in the 19th century (notably in 1857 and 1895).
