The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église a été construite d'est en ouest en deux campagnes de construction, datées respectivement de 1547 et 1574. D'importants travaux ont été réalisés au 17e siècle : peinture des lambris en 1660 (ceux du choeur ont été conservés) , et construction de la sacristie en 1680. Le clocher, deux fois touché par la foudre, a été partiellement reconstruit : à partir de la chambre des cloches en 1735, et la flèche en 1893. L'église a conservé son placître orné d'un calvaire datant de la première moitié du 17e siècle.

History
The church was built from east to west in two building campaigns, dated respectively 1547 and 1574. Significant works were carried out in the 17th century: painting of the wainscoting in 1660 (those of the choir were preserved), and construction of the sacristy in 1680. The bell tower, struck by lightning twice, was partially rebuilt: from the bell chamber in 1735, and the spire in 1893. The church has retained its church yard ornamented with a calvary dating from the first half of the 17th century.
