The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'édifice de comporte pas de transept. Deux forts arcs doubleaux soutiennent le clocher carré. La nef est voûtée en berceau, l'abside en cul de four. Cette dernière est éclairée par des baies en plein cintre qui viennent en pénétration dans les voûtes. Une décoration du 18e siècle avec entablement et pilastres ioniques en faux marbre environne l'autel. Les chapiteaux de la nef ont été, pour certains, remplacés. L'église est d'époque romane, sauf pour le portail et l'abside (1761), ainsi que les voûtes (1855).

The building does not have a transept. Two strong arch-stones support the square bell tower. The nave is barrel-vaulted, the apse in semi-dome. The latter is lit by round-arch openings which penetrate into the vaults. An 18th-century decoration with entablature and Ionic pilasters in false marble surrounds the altar. The capitals of the nave have, for some, been replaced. The church is of Romanesque period, except for the portal and the apse (1761), as well as the vaults (1855).
