The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église comporte des éléments d'époques différentes. En forme de croix latine, elle a un choeur rectangulaire, un transept et une nef bordée d'un bas-côté. Un arc diaphragme sépare la nef à cinq arcades du transept, la nef étant la partie la plus ancienne (12e siècle). Le reste de la construction, moins le clocher, date du début du 16e siècle. Le grand porche est couvert d'une voûte d'ogives en pierre. Le clocher a été reconstruit vers 1700, mais il conserve sa flèche gothique.

History
The church comprises elements of different periods. In the form of a Latin cross, it has a rectangular choir, a transept and a nave bordered by one aisle. A diaphragm arch separates the nave of five arcades from the transept, the nave being the oldest part (12th century). The rest of the construction, apart from the bell tower, dates from the early 16th century. The great porch is covered with a rib vault in stone. The bell tower was rebuilt around 1700, but it retains its Gothic spire.
