The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église, qui semble avoir conservé des éléments du 15e siècle, a été agrandie au siècle suivant (porche méridional refait et construction du transept). Le clocher a été reconstruit au début du 18e siècle. L'ossuaire s'ouvre par des arcades qui, en s'entrecoupant, dessinent des arcades secondaires, plus petites, en tiers point, décorées de redents. Le calvaire est monté sur un socle octogonal que ceint un bandeau feuillagé et présente une tige à torsade et quatre culs de lampe.

The church, which appears to have preserved elements from the 15th century, was enlarged in the following century (south porch rebuilt and construction of the transept). The bell tower was rebuilt in the early 18th century. The ossuary opens through arcades which, interlocking, create smaller secondary arcades, in pointed arch, decorated with redents. The calvary is mounted on an octagonal plinth encircled by a foliage band and has a twisted shaft and four corbels.
