The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ancienne étape du chemin de Compostelle, l'église est un édifice d'origine romane. Le chevet est formé d'une abside cantonnée de deux absidioles. La voûte de la nef, détruite en 1569, fut reconstruite en 1870 par l'architecte Ozanne qui ajouta un bas-côté sud au bâtiment. Le cul-de-four de l'absidiole nord a conservé un décor peint du début du 17e siècle.

Former stage on the road to Compostela, the church is a building of Romanesque origin. The chevet is formed of an apse flanked by two absidioles. The vault of the nave, destroyed in 1569, was rebuilt in 1870 by architect Ozanne who added a southern aisle to the building. The barrel vault of the northern absidiole has retained painted decoration from the early 17th century.
