Church rebuilt in the 19th century while preserving two parts of the original church: the choir of the 13th century and the side chapel of the 15th century. The choir is composed of two square bays vaulted. The arcs of the vaults are borne by columns with sculptured capitals and the walls are pierced with mullioned openings with radiating tracery. The transept of the 15th century is also vaulted.
