The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le clocher est l'unique vestige de l'ancienne église. Le beffroi présente de longues ouvertures formant le dernier étage de la tour carrée. Deux dates, 1529-1535, semblent indiquer le délai des travaux. Dans le tympan de la porte double, à la base du clocher, se trouve la statue du saint. Un double gâble couronne le portail et s'amortit dans une galerie correspondant au premier étage du clocher.

The bell tower is the sole vestige of the former church. The belfry presents long openings forming the last storey of the square tower. Two dates, 1529-1535, seem to indicate the duration of the works. In the tympanum of the double door, at the base of the bell tower, is found the statue of the saint. A double gable crowns the portal and terminates in a gallery corresponding to the first storey of the bell tower.
