Historique
Eglise romane à transept dont le choeur arrondi a été vraisemblablement au 16e siècle noyé dans un mur plat. Le transept devait être surmonté d'une coupole. Actuellement, il est couvert d'une voûte sur croisées d'ogives à liernes et tiercerons. Les chapelles du transept possèdent des chapiteaux du 12e siècle.

History
Romanesque church with transept whose rounded chevet was presumably in the 16th century embedded in a flat wall. The transept was to be surmounted by a dome. Currently, it is covered with a rib vault with liernes and tiercerons. The chapels of the transept possess capitals of the 12th century.
