The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice roman remanié au 17e siècle. La nef seule subsiste, flanquée de deux bas-côtés. Une série de sculptures frustes orne le dessus des piles, et deux chapiteaux surmontent les colonnes engagées à la retombée de l'arc triomphal. Motifs géométriques (crossettes d'angle, losanges, arceaux entrelacés) , mais également une tête de bélier, des chevaux stylisés paissant.

History
Romanesque building remodeled in the 17th century. The nave alone remains, flanked by two aisles. A series of rough sculptures decorates the top of the pillars, and two capitals surmount the engaged columns at the springing of the triumphal arch. Geometric motifs (corner crossettes, lozenges, interlaced arches), but also a ram's head, stylized horses grazing.
