The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église paraît avoir fait partie d'un monastère dont l'emplacement s'aperçoit encore. C'est une église romane d'élévation assez exceptionnelle. Clocher fortifié de forme carrée, le pignon aigu portant les cloches étant postérieur. L'intérieur conserve des colonnettes à chapiteaux sculptés. Les voûtes ont été refaites, celles de la nef ayant été surbaissées. Sous le clocher se trouve un imposant pilier rond.

History
The church appears to have been part of a monastery whose location is still visible. It is a Romanesque church of quite exceptional elevation. Fortified bell tower of square form, the steep gable bearing the bells being later. The interior preserves small columns with sculpted capitals. The vaults have been remade, those of the nave having been depressed. Beneath the bell tower is found an imposing round pillar.
