Historique
Eglise romane entièrement refaite. La toiture du choeur a été modifiée au 18e siècle et refaite à la Mansard. Il ne reste comme partie intéressante que le choeur intérieur qui comprend quatre arcatures en plein cintre, dont deux soulignées de pointes de diamant et deux de motifs géométriques. Elles sont séparées par un pilier roman à chapiteaux à entrelacs.

History
Romanesque church entirely remade. The roof of the choir was modified in the 18th century and remade in the Mansard style. The only interesting part remaining is the interior choir which comprises four round arches, two of which are underlined with diamond points and two with geometric motifs. They are separated by a Romanesque pillar with interlaced capitals.
