The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'origine du Croisty serait due aux Templiers. L'église aurait été construite aux 15e et 16e siècles. C'est un édifice en croix latine, à chevet plat. Trois constructions s'adossent au mur de la nef : l'ossuaire, ajouré de trois baies en anse de panier ; le porche ouvert d'une porte en plein cintre à nervures pénétrantes ; la sacristie. A l'est, le mur pignon à rampants assisés et sommés d'une croix comporte des pierres d'assise sculptées de têtes humaines. Une baie en arc brisé à remplage composé de quatre lancettes trilobées et de lobes trilobés ouvre ce pignon. Le clocher a été entièrement reconstruit au début du 20e siècle, et enchassé dans les anciennes maçonneries. A l'intérieur, la voûte en berceau lambrissée comporte des sablières sculptées de scènes naïves.

History
The origin of the Croisty would be due to the Templars. The church would have been built in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a building in the form of a Latin cross, with a flat chevet. Three constructions are set against the wall of the nave: the ossuary, pierced by three openings in a basket handle; the porch open with a round arch door with penetrating ribs; the sacristy. To the east, the gable wall with rampant and buttressed courses topped with a cross comprises ashlar stones carved with human heads. An opening in a pointed arch with tracery composed of four trilobed lancets and trilobed lobes opens this gable. The bell tower was entirely rebuilt in the early 20th century, and set within the old masonry. Inside, the barrel vault covered with boarding comprises sill-beams sculpted with naive scenes.
