History
Church with three naves, terminated by a flat chevet with triple gable. The pointed arch arcades inside appear to date from the early 16th century. The north and south walls were rebuilt in the 17th century (dates of 1609 to the north and 1626 to the south). Inside, a painted wooden baldachin shelters the baptismal font. The bell tower, on the western gable, dates from the 18th century.
