The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle commencée en 1527, d'après une date sur la façade. La nef, bordée de deux bas-côtés, compte quatre travées aux arcades en tiers-point en pénétration sur des piles octogonales, et se continue par un choeur carré. Les fenêtres ont perdu leurs réseaux de pierre. Le clocheton du pignon a été reconstruit en 1685, en utilisant, pour une bonne part, les matériaux du clocheton ancien. La pointe de la flèche est tronquée. En 1910, un incendie a détruit tout le mobilier et le lambris du 16e siècle.

Chapel begun in 1527, according to a date on the facade. The nave, bordered by two aisles, comprises four bays with pointed arch arcades in interpenetration on octagonal piers, and continues with a square choir. The windows have lost their stone tracery. The belfry of the gable was rebuilt in 1685, using, for a large part, the materials from the old belfry. The point of the spire is truncated. In 1910, a fire destroyed all the furnishings and the 16th-century wainscoting.
