Prototype de l'église rurale du 15e siècle dans le département, cet édifice conserve des éléments du 12e siècle. Trois chapelles ont été ajoutées au 16e siècle. La nef a été reconstruite au 18e siècle et le choeur en 1836. Le portail occidental (15e ou 16e siècle) , autrefois en arc brisé, est accosté de chaque côté de deux colonnettes dont les chapiteaux sont formés de petites têtes humaines. Une archivolte en arc brisé le surmonte. La façade sud est percée d'une porte Renaissance, dite Porte Mortuaire, flanquée de deux pilastres à chapiteaux feuillés. Une flèche polygonale se dresse au centre de l'édifice.

History
Prototype of the rural church of the 15th century in the department, this edifice retains elements from the 12th century. Three chapels were added in the 16th century. The nave was rebuilt in the 18th century and the choir in 1836. The western portal (15th or 16th century), formerly with a pointed arch, is flanked on each side by two small columns whose capitals are formed of small human heads. A pointed arch archivolt surmounts it. The south façade is pierced by a Renaissance door, called the Mortuary Door, flanked by two pilasters with leaf capitals. A polygonal spire rises at the centre of the edifice.
