The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église à trois nefs est couverte par un berceau en bois, la voûte de la nef centrale et du choeur ayant conservé ses peintures. Le jubé s'appuie sur les piliers du choeur et se prolonge, sur ces piliers, par deux dais abritant des statues. Les murs de la nef sont montés en monolithes de schiste ardoisier. La chapelle funéraire, de 1639, se développe parallèlement à la façade occidentale de l'église. C'est une oeuvre du 17e siècle ayant toutes les caractéristiques du 16e.

The church with three naves is covered by a barrel vault in wood, the vault of the central nave and the choir having retained its paintings. The rood screen rests on the pillars of the choir and extends, on these pillars, by two canopies sheltering statues. The walls of the nave are built in monoliths of slate-bearing schist. The funerary chapel, of 1639, develops parallel to the western facade of the church. It is a work of the 17th century having all the characteristics of the 16th.
