The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise à nef unique de cinq travées, avec trois niches en forme d'absidioles, du 12e siècle. Le clocher s'élève au-dessus de la première travée occidentale. Il domine aussi le portail flanqué de deux arcades aveugles. Une rangée de cinq arcades le couronne. L'abside et le choeur semblent avoir constitué, à l'origine, une petite chapelle agrandie par la suite pour former l'église actuelle.

History
Church with single nave of five bays, with three niches in the form of small apses, of the 12th century. The bell tower rises above the first western bay. It also dominates the portal flanked by two blind arcades. A row of five arcades crowns it. The apse and choir seem to have originally constituted a small chapel enlarged subsequently to form the present church.
