The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice construit de 1507 à 1532, à l'emplacement d'une ancienne église plus petite, à partir des plans de Galéas. Nouvelle église non orientée sans doute à cause d'un manque d'espace. Le chevet est crénelé pour raisons défensives.

Building constructed from 1507 to 1532, on the site of a former smaller church, based on the plans of Galéas. New church not oriented, no doubt because of lack of space. The chevet is crenellated for defensive reasons.
