History
From the 12th-century building survive the Romanesque chevet, as well as a few original interior elements such as the cul-de-four, the barrel vault of the choir and two foliated capitals. In the 14th century, the nave is extended by a tower. In the 15th century, enlargement of the building by aisles. Then, the nave was covered with a rib vault before being extended. In the 17th century, addition of a porch to the north of the tower. Around 1770, the high altar was made by the Mazzetti brothers. The wooden lustre of the nave dates from the 18th century. In 1875, the interior is decorated with paintings. From the 19th century date the woodwork, the altar and the retable of the north aisle.
