The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Peintures murales du chevet datant des 13e et 15e siècles. Eglise remaniée en 1828 (décor intérieur par des peintres italiens) et 1905 (vitraux de J. P. Dagrant). La partie la plus ancienne, l'abside et les deux absidioles, doit remonter au 12e siècle. La partie supérieure de leurs murs a été reprise ultérieurement. La nef, les bas-côtés et le clocher furent ajoutés ou reconstruits au 16e siècle. La tour contenant l'escalier d'accès au clocher, également modifiée au début du 20e siècle, fut édifiée en 1751.

Mural paintings of the chevet dating from the 13th and 15th centuries. Church refurbished in 1828 (interior decoration by Italian painters) and 1905 (stained glass by J. P. Dagrant). The oldest part, the apse and the two absidioles, must date from the 12th century. The upper part of their walls was subsequently reworked. The nave, the aisles and the bell tower were added or rebuilt in the 16th century. The tower containing the staircase giving access to the bell tower, also modified in the early 20th century, was built in 1751.
