The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise collégiale du 15e siècle, comprenant une nef de deux travées, celle du milieu étant flanquée de deux chapelles formant transept. Elle se termine par une abside polygonale éclairée par trois grandes baies. Au-dessus de la chapelle sud se trouve une tribune dont l'accès se fait par un escalier tournant. Cette tribune était sans doute destinée au seigneur local.

History
Collegiate church of the 15th century, comprising a nave of two bays, the middle one being flanked by two chapels forming a transept. It terminates in a polygonal apse lit by three large openings. Above the south chapel there is a gallery whose access is by a spiral staircase. This gallery was no doubt intended for the local lord.
