The church is noted for its substantial bell tower and its role as a key landmark within the town of Gannat. It contains notable examples of stained glass and sculptural elements representative of its construction periods. The building has undergone restoration work over the centuries to preserve its historical integrity and continues to function as an active place of worship alongside hosting cultural events.
