The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église se compose d'une nef avec bas-côtés, d'un transept et d'un chevet carré. Sur la face occidentale, couronnant le pignon, s'élève un petit clocher ajouré, à flèche de pierre. Le porche d'entrée se trouve sur le côté sud. L'intérieur est couvert par une charpente apparente lambrissée dont certaines parties sont décorées de peintures portant les dates de 1751 et 1858. La construction de l'édifice paraît remonter au 16e siècle, mais le clocher a été refait en 1891. La sacristie est datée de 1697.

The church comprises a nave with aisles, a transept and a square chevet. On the west face, crowning the gable, rises a small openwork bell tower, with stone spire. The entrance porch is on the south side. The interior is covered by an exposed lambrissed roof structure, some parts of which are decorated with paintings bearing the dates 1751 and 1858. The construction of the edifice appears to date back to the 16th century, but the bell tower was rebuilt in 1891. The sacristy is dated 1697.
