context_page_description: Pomayrols is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.
context_section_description: The church is located at the bottom of the village, with the arrival of the path which used to be called "the coast of the Lords".
  The building existed from the very start of the 11th century.
  In 1050, under the reign of Henry I of France, Hugues de Calmont, bequeathed it to the abbey of Conques which will manage it during more than three centuries. The village was used as stage for the pélerins of  the Way of St. James, which went from Puy in Velay to Conques.
  On February 28, 1390, the abbey of Conques yields the administration of the church and its Priory to the diocese of Rodez.
  In 1452, Bérard Murat de Lestang, undertook its rebuilding.
  (the side chapel of the rosary where it puts back beside Gabrielle his wife is the only part of the church who remains us of this time).
  Partly burned in 1568 during the wars of religion, the church was raised returned peace. Three centuries later, between 1840 and 1900,  the church was gradually restored: the vault in 1840, interior parts in 1852, the bell-tower in 1855.
