The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église date des 15e et 16e siècles et comporte les éléments de deux édifices différents. La partie du choeur, élevée au 15e siècle, est assez modeste dans sa composition. La nef, les bas-côtés et le portail datent de la Renaissance. A l'intersection des nefs, s'élève une tour supportée par quatre gros piliers et couronnée par une flèche en charpente de 42 mètres de haut, flanquée de quatre clochetons également en bois.

The church dates from the 15th and 16th centuries and comprises elements of two different buildings. The part of the choir, erected in the 15th century, is fairly modest in its composition. The nave, the aisles and the portal date from the Renaissance. At the intersection of the naves rises a tower supported by four large pillars and crowned by a wooden spire 42 metres high, flanked by four small wooden bells.
