The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La construction primitive remonte au 12e siècle. Il reste de cette époque l'abside, qui n'a subi aucune transformation, et un portail. Au 15e siècle, deux chapelles latérales ont été ajoutées, formant transept sur la petite nef romane. En 1712, des bas-côtés ont été construits dans le prolongement de ces chapelles. En 1844, la façade a été reportée en avant pour agrandir l'église d'une travée.

The original construction dates from the 12th century. From this period remain the apse, which has undergone no transformation, and a portal. In the 15th century, two lateral chapels were added, forming a transept on the small Romanesque nave. In 1712, aisles were constructed in the extension of these chapels. In 1844, the façade was moved forward to enlarge the church by one bay.
