The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice composé d'une nef suivie d'un choeur à abside semi-circulaire. La nef, reconstruite au 13e-14e siècle, est revoûtée d'un lambris plus tard. Elle ouvre sur le choeur par un arc triomphal. A l'ouest, le portail est composé de trois voussures en tiers point retombant sur des colonnettes (il n'en reste qu'une). Le chevet a été rehaussé d'un haut bahut de défense avec trous de tir, à partir de la corniche à trois rangs de billettes qui soutenait la toiture primitive. Un clocher mur rectangulaire percé de deux baies campanaires s'élève sur l'arc triomphal.

History
Building composed of a nave followed by a choir with semi-circular apse. The nave, rebuilt in the 13th-14th centuries, is later re-vaulted with a ceiling. It opens onto the choir by a triumphal arch. To the west, the portal is composed of three pointed-arch voussures resting on small columns (only one remains). The chevet was raised with a high defensive parapet with shooting-holes, starting from the cornice with three rows of billettes which supported the original roof. A rectangular bell-gable pierced by two belfry openings rises on the triumphal arch.
