The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise bâtie en 1150. Le choeur et la sacristie sont romans. Au 14e siècle, il y fut adjoint une nef et, au 17e siècle, la chapelle située au nord ainsi que le clocher. La nef se termine par un chevet plat. La première partie du choeur présente pour ornement une baguette bien vite brisée et semble avoir été le porche de l'église primitive. Deux colonnes aux chapiteaux historiés supportent un second arc triomphal. A l'extérieur, le clocher se présente comme une petite tour surmontée d'une flèche recouverte en bois. Les fenêtres de la nef sont géminées et trilobées.

Church built in 1150. The choir and sacristy are Romanesque. In the 14th century, a nave was added to it, and in the 17th century, the chapel situated to the north as well as the bell tower. The nave terminates in a flat chevet. The first part of the choir presents as decoration a moulding quickly broken and appears to have been the porch of the primitive church. Two columns with historiated capitals support a second triumphal arch. Externally, the bell tower presents as a small tower surmounted by a spire covered in wood. The windows of the nave are twin and trilobed.
