The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église et les bâtiments sont les restes d'un prieuré dépendant de l'abbaye de Saint-Amand de Coly. L'édifice roman a été remanié et agrandi au 16e siècle. Il reste de l'église primitive le chevet, le mur latéral nord, une partie du mur latéral sud et la partie basse de la façade. Au 16e siècle, un bas-côté a été ajouté au sud, ce qui a entraîné l'ouverture de trois arcades dans l'ancien mur goutterot et des voûtes d'arêtes ont été construites sur la nef.

The church and buildings are the remains of a priory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Amand de Coly. The Romanesque building was altered and enlarged in the 16th century. From the primitive church there remain the chevet, the north lateral wall, part of the south lateral wall and the lower part of the façade. In the 16th century, an aisle was added to the south, which led to the opening of three arcades in the old gutter wall and rib vaults were constructed over the nave.
