The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice en forme de croix latine avec nef bordée de bas-côtés et choeur terminé par un chevet à trois pans. Dans la nef, deux files d'arcades en tiers point retombent en pénétration sur des piles octogonales (1530). Le transept et la choeur, malgré leurs fenêtres flamboyantes, semblent contemporains de la sacristie, datée de 1675. Le clocher, primitivement amorti par une flèche, a reçu un dôme à lanternon en 1764. La chapelle conserve deux séries de vitraux, l'une gothique, l'autre Renaissance. Le calvaire date du 16e siècle, mais comprend des statues provenant d'un autre calvaire. Chaque angle du socle triangulaire comporte un pinacle et est précédé d'un autel. Au pied de la croix se trouve une Pietà.

Building in the form of a Latin cross with nave bordered by aisles and choir terminated by a chevet with three bays. In the nave, two rows of pointed arches rest in interpenetration on octagonal piers (1530). The transept and choir, despite their flamboyant windows, seem contemporary with the sacristy, dated to 1675. The bell tower, originally topped with a spire, received a dome with lantern in 1764. The chapel preserves two sets of stained glass, one Gothic, the other Renaissance. The calvary dates from the 16th century, but includes statues from another calvary. Each angle of the triangular base has a pinnacle and is preceded by an altar. At the foot of the cross is a Pietà.
