The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Important édifice du 15e siècle ayant conservé un clocher en granit à campanile ajouré, suivant le type des clochers bretons. Des restaurations portent les dates de 1608 et 1662. Les sacristies et la chapelle de fonts baptismaux sont modernes. L'église est couverte par une charpente apparente qui conserve, par endroit, des fragments de sablières, d'entraits et abouts de poinçons sculptés. Le porche nord est voûté en pierre. Au-dessus de ce porche, se trouve une salle. La clôture du choeur est formée de balustres tournés du 17e siècle. Dans cette balustrade, au transept nord, ont été incorporés treize panneaux en bois, sculptés et peints, représentant la Passion, depuis la Cène jusqu'à la Résurrection.
