The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice roman composé d'une nef unique que termine à l'ouest une abside en cul de four. Le côté sud est adossé à un vaste ensemble de bâtiments, restes d'un ancien couvent de Prémontrés. A l'intérieur, la voûte est lambrissée, en forme d'ogive brisée très surbaissée. Suivant l'usage local, un double étage de tribunes occupe une grande partie des murs latéraux. Le portail roman est abrité sous un porche fermé. Le chevet est orné de neuf arcatures légèrement ogivales retombant sur des culots sculptés et, de trois en trois, sur les chapiteaux de colonnes formant contreforts. L'église présente un clocher trinitaire. La porte romane possède trois colonnettes de chaque côté, surmontées de chapiteaux à crossettes et à personnages.

History
Romanesque building composed of a single nave terminated to the west by an apse in the form of a quarter-sphere vault. The south side is set against a vast ensemble of buildings, remains of a former convent of Premonstratensians. Inside, the vault is coffered, in the form of a very flattened pointed arch. Following local usage, a double storey of galleries occupies a large part of the lateral walls. The Romanesque portal is sheltered beneath a closed porch. The chevet is adorned with nine slightly pointed arcatures resting on carved corbels and, at intervals of three, on the capitals of columns forming buttresses. The church presents a tripartite bell tower. The Romanesque door has three small columns on each side, surmounted by capitals with crossettes and figures.
