The available data do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. This type of building, typical of small rural communities, generally served as a place of worship, community gathering and identity marker for the inhabitants.

In the New Aquitaine countryside, parish churches such as Saint-Vivian played a central role in daily life, rhythmizing agricultural activities, religious festivals and social events. Their presence often reflected the medieval or modern organization of the villages, even if the sources were lacking to date precisely this particular example.
