The church is dedicated to Saint Flour, Bishop of Lodève. Its construction dates back to the 13th century. Its south portal and the two side chapels date from the 14th century. The bell tower was partially rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century.
The church faces east-west. Covered with slate, it is surrounded by a cemetery with a 9th century ossuary and Merovingian anthropomorphic tombs from the early Middle Ages.
The chapel is of Romanesque foundation, but the present building dates from the 17th and 19th centuries. It seems to have belonged to the larger ensemble of a medieval castle. Remains have been found under the chapel.
The church is located on top of a mound, within the ruined castle grounds, where it was once the chapel. The openings were enlarged in the 18th century. The cylindrical clock tower was built in 1745.
Vodable being a clunisian site, the church Saint Georges of the village was served by the clunisian monks of Sauxillanges until 1382 before passing then to the community of the priests of Ronzières.
