The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église, désaffectée depuis 1895, constitue un rare exemple d'architecture romane. L'édifice présentait un plan composé d'une nef et d'un chevet rectangulaire, dont ne subsistent que les 3/4 du mur sud de la nef, le mur diaphragme séparant la nef et le chevet, ainsi que le chevet. Les peintures murales ont presque entièrement disparu. De couleur ocre rehaussé de rouge et de bistre, l'iconographie utilisait signes géométriques et personnages (combat de chevaliers ; Crucifixion).

History
This church, disused since 1895, constitutes a rare example of Romanesque architecture. The building presented a plan composed of a nave and a rectangular chevet, of which only 3/4 of the south wall of the nave, the diaphragm wall separating the nave and the chevet, and the chevet survive. The mural paintings have almost entirely disappeared. Of ochre colour enhanced with red and bistre, the iconography used geometric signs and figures (combat of knights; Crucifixion).
