Historique
La partie refaite de l'église communique, par une ouverture donnant accès au clocher (vestibule voûté en berceau à étroite ouverture romane) , avec l'ancienne église romane dont il reste le choeur voûté en cul de four. Extérieurement, ce choeur a été exhaussé, au-dessus de corbeaux sculptés, du double de sa hauteur, mais à huit pans. Le clocher roman est à toit pyramidal recouvert de lauze. La chapelle latérale gauche a été refaite sur croisées d'ogives, mais appartient à l'ancienne église. Le chevet conserve des ouvertures pour arquebuse.

History
The rebuilt part of the church communicates, by an opening giving access to the bell tower (vestibule with barrel vault with narrow Romanesque opening), with the former Romanesque church of which remains the choir vaulted with a cul de four. Externally, this choir has been raised, above carved corbels, to double its height, but in eight panels. The Romanesque bell tower has a pyramidal roof covered in lauze. The left lateral chapel was rebuilt on rib vaults, but belongs to the former church. The chevet preserves openings for arquebus.
