Trémolat's first church was built in the 9th century and now today all that remains of the original work are two arches, north and south of the nave at the intersection of the transept. 

It was only between 1125 and 1160 that the present church was built. The original cloister from this time has now disappeared but other traces can still be seen today. This monastic church was dedicated to Mary, Mother of God, but became the local parish church after the revolution, when it took on the name of Saint Nicolas. Substantial restoration work which took place earlier this century between 2000 and 2010.

In it's current state the building and interior are quite splendid. You can admire the frescoes in particular from the XIV (14th) century and the two altars of the eighteenth century.
