The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La présence d'une église à cet emplacement est connue dès le 6e siècle. L'église actuelle date du début du 12e siècle. Au 13e siècle, deux piliers romans à section carrée ont été remplacés par des cylindriques. Aux 14e et 15e siècles, les peintures romanes ont été recouvertes (murs latéraux de la nef, dessus des grandes arcades, entre les fenêtres hautes). Les fresques du 12e siècle figuraient des pierres d'appareil avec des frises et des feuillages ; celles des 14e et 15e siècles représentaient des scènes de la Passion et de l'Enfer. En 1823, prolongation du choeur.

The presence of a church at this location is known from the 6th century. The present church dates from the early 12th century. In the 13th century, two Romanesque pillars of square section were replaced by cylindrical ones. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Romanesque paintings were covered over (lateral walls of the nave, above the great arcades, between the high windows). The 12th-century frescoes depicted ashlar stones with friezes and foliage; those of the 14th and 15th centuries represented scenes of the Passion and Hell. In 1823, extension of the choir.
