The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Vestiges d'une ancienne église paroissiale datant du 15e siècle, à l'exception de la tour reconstruite en 1754 et 1755. Après deux expertises, en 1763 puis en 1767, le conseil du roi décida en 1773 la démolition de l'édifice, devenu dangereux. La tour, qui avait seule subsisté, s'effondra en 1833. Le culte fut transféré en 1773 dans la chapelle des Carmes puis, en 1790, dans la collégiale Notre-Dame. Les ruines conservées dans le cimetière laissent voir un arc ogival avec tympan soutenu par un jambage créant deux ouvertures, également ogivales. Des moulures, avec gorges et colonnettes engagées, tournent autour de ces passages. Des contreforts buttent la maçonnerie. Une petite porte basse donne accès à l'escalier circulaire.

Remains of an old parish church dating from the 15th century, except for the tower rebuilt in 1754 and 1755. After two surveys, in 1763 and then in 1767, the king's council decided in 1773 on the demolition of the building, which had become dangerous. The tower, which alone had survived, collapsed in 1833. The worship was transferred in 1773 to the chapel of the Carmes and then, in 1790, to the collegiate church Notre-Dame. The ruins preserved in the cemetery reveal a pointed arch with tympanum supported by a jamb creating two openings, also pointed. Mouldings, with gorges and engaged colonnettes, turn around these passages. Buttresses support the masonry. A small low door gives access to the circular staircase.
