The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Une petite église du 12e siècle, composée de trois travées dont la dernière forme le choeur et dont il ne reste d'intact que la première travée ouest supportant le clocher, semble avoir été l'origine de l'église actuelle. Un large bas-côté a été ajouté au 15e siècle sur la face sud. L'église primitive, à l'exception de la travée supportant le clocher, a été complètement transformée ou reconstruite à la même époque. Par la suite, une autre travée a été ajoutée au nord, vers l'ouest. Cet agrandissement est simplement recouvert d'un lambris.

History
A small church of the 12th century, composed of three bays of which the last forms the choir and of which there remains intact only the first western bay supporting the bell tower, appears to have been the origin of the present church. A wide aisle was added in the 15th century on the south side. The primitive church, with the exception of the bay supporting the bell tower, was completely transformed or rebuilt at the same period. Subsequently, another bay was added to the north, towards the west. This enlargement is simply covered with coffering.
