The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise de la fin du 15e et du début du 16e siècle, composée d'une nef voûtée en bois en forme de carène renversée avec poinçons et entraits décorés de gueules de monstres à leurs extrémités. Le sanctuaire, également voûté en bois, présente des entraits non décorés. Entre la nef et le sanctuaire, un arc brisé soutient un pignon faisant saillie hors des toitures et terminé par un clocher mur pour deux cloches, ce qui semble indiquer que la nef constituait autrefois à elle seule toute l'église, et que le sanctuaire a été ajouté au 16e siècle. Vitraux du 16e siècle.

Church of the late 15th and early 16th century, composed of a nave with wooden barrel vault in the form of an inverted keel with tie beams and collars decorated with monster heads at their ends. The sanctuary, also with wooden vault, presents undecorated tie beams. Between the nave and the sanctuary, a pointed arch supports a gable projecting beyond the roofs and terminated by a bell gable for two bells, which seems to indicate that the nave formerly constituted by itself the whole church, and that the sanctuary was added in the 16th century. Stained glass windows from the 16th century.
