The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église fut construite au début du 14e siècle comme en témoignent les retombées des nervures des voûtes. Dans le courant du 15e siècle, l'édifice fut ruiné. Les voûtes de la nef et le choeur s'écroulèrent et furent reconstruits à la fin du même siècle. Le choeur date entièrement de cette période. Pour les voûtes de la nef sont utilisés les départs de nervures, le profil du 14e siècle étant surmonté par le profil à double gorge du 15e siècle. La façade surmontée d'un clocher en pignon, la tourelle d'escalier, les parements de la première travée et sa toiture sont modernes.

The church was built in the early 14th century as evidenced by the springing of the ribs of the vaults. In the course of the 15th century, the building was ruined. The vaults of the nave and the choir collapsed and were rebuilt at the end of the same century. The choir dates entirely from this period. For the vaults of the nave, the rib springing are used, the profile of the 14th century being surmounted by the double-gorge profile of the 15th century. The façade surmounted by a bell tower in a gable, the staircase turret, the facing of the first bay and its roof are modern.
