The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise romane à clocher carré sur coupole octogonale. Porche en plein cintre à colonnettes et chapiteaux sculptés. La voûte en berceau de la nef en a vraisemblablement remplacé une plus ancienne. La chapelle latérale gauche, voûtée d'ogives, est plus récente. Les colonnes qui supportaient la voûte d'ogives de la chapelle ont été coupées à leur base. L'édifice se termine par un choeur carré.

History
Romanesque church with a square bell tower on an octagonal dome. Porch in round arch with small columns and sculpted capitals. The barrel vault of the nave has probably replaced an older one. The left lateral chapel, vaulted with ribs, is more recent. The columns which supported the rib vault of the chapel have been cut at their base. The building terminates in a square choir.
