The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le clocher et la façade occidentale datent du 16e siècle et la nef du 18e. La façade offre la particularité d'avoir, au sud, une fenêtre avec, à côté, un bénitier extérieur devant lequel, selon la tradition, se tenaient les lépreux pour suivre les offices du dehors. La partie refaite au 18e siècle a utilisé deux portes de l'ancienne église Renaissance. Les fenêtres plein cintre sont surmontées de pignonnets assez frustes. Les piliers de la nef offrent la particularité d'être de plan carré et les faces posées à 45° par rapport à l'ane de l'édifice, supportant deux rangs de voussoirs en plein cintre à fortes moulures.

The bell tower and the western façade date from the 16th century and the nave from the 18th. The façade has the particularity of having, to the south, a window with, beside it, an external holy-water stoup in front of which, according to tradition, lepers stood to follow the offices from outside. The part remade in the 18th century used two doors from the old Renaissance church. The round arch windows are surmounted by fairly crude little gables. The pillars of the nave have the particularity of being of square plan with the faces placed at 45° to the axis of the building, supporting two rows of round arch voussoirs with strong mouldings.
