The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Petit édifice du 15e siècle comprenant, à l'entrée, un clocher massif, deux travées de nef avec bas-côtés et un choeur polygonal. Au cours des guerres de Religion, un incendie entraîne sa réfection, surtout sur la charpente. Une tribune est ajoutée au 18e siècle, au rez-de-chaussée du clocher. L'église paraît avoir eu primitivement un transept qui fut allongé d'une travée vers l'ouest.

History
Small 15th-century building comprising, at the entrance, a massive bell tower, two bays of nave with aisles and a polygonal choir. During the Wars of Religion, a fire leads to its rebuilding, especially of the roof structure. A gallery is added in the 18th century, on the ground floor of the bell tower. The church appears to have originally had a transept which was lengthened by one bay to the west.
