The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En partie restaurée vers 1675 (dont le portail de la façade ouest) , l'église fut agrandi au 19e siècle par la construction de bas-côtés. Une nef à deux travées déterminées par les grandes arcades en plein cintre ouvrant sur les bas-côtés, précède un avant-choeur voûté en berceau légèrement brisé. Une abside voûtée en cul de four fait suite. La façade ouest possède un portail à bossages continus, surmontée d'un fronton brisé, un oculus assurant l'éclairage. La façade se poursuit en clocher-mur abritant une cloche.

Partly restored around 1675 (including the portal of the west façade), the church was enlarged in the 19th century by the construction of aisles. A nave with two bays determined by the large round arches opening onto the aisles precedes a vestibule vaulted with a slightly broken barrel vault. A vault with a barrel vault follows. The west façade possesses a portal with continuous bossage, surmounted by a broken pediment, an oculus providing lighting. The façade continues as a bell tower wall sheltering a bell.
