The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église porte une dédicace de 1607, correspondant peut-être à un remaniement de l'édifice. Suivant la disposition usitée au 12e siècle, l'édifice est voûté en berceau et possède une coupole sur pendentif dans la travée qui précède l'abside, au-dessus de laquelle s'élève le clocher. La nef est couverte d'une voûte du 19e siècle. L'escalier qui monte au clocher part à environ trois mètres du sol, ce qui en facilite la défense.

History
The church bears a dedication of 1607, perhaps corresponding to a reworking of the building. Following the arrangement used in the 12th century, the building is vaulted with a barrel vault and possesses a dome on pendentives in the bay which precedes the chevet, above which rises the bell tower. The nave is covered with a vault of the 19th century. The staircase which goes up to the bell tower starts at approximately three metres from the ground, which facilitates its defence.
