The Church contains a nave, a portal and a covered bell tower. In the year 1071 someone quoted something about the castle in the will of Arnau Mir de Tost, who had rights which passed to the Church of Urgell. Few years after, it was object of transactions between the counts of Pallars Jussà and Pallars Sobirà. The year 1787 it had 40 h. and the year 1831 it belonged to the Marquis of Gironella.
