The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Diverses parties de l'église ont été conservées lors de la reconstruction, fin 19e siècle, dont les murs de transept, le chevet orné d'une grande verrière et le porche. Ce dernier, de la fin du 15e siècle, est voûté en granit. La baie extérieure ogivale est surmontée d'un gâble rectiligne avec décoration gothique. Niches sur les contreforts d'angle. A l'intérieur du porche, six niches de chaque côté, ont perdu leurs statues. Au fond, portes géminées donnant accès à l'intérieur. Piédestal, dais et armoiries sur le meneau séparant les deux portes. Le tympan ajouré qui les domine a été refait.

History
Various parts of the church were retained during the reconstruction, late 19th century, including the transept walls, the chevet ornamented with a large window and the porch. The latter, from the end of the 15th century, is vaulted in granite. The external ogival bay is surmounted by a straight gable with Gothic decoration. Niches on the corner buttresses. Inside the porch, six niches on each side, have lost their statues. At the back, twin doors giving access to the interior. Pedestal, canopy and heraldry on the mullion separating the two doors. The pierced tympanum which dominates them has been remade.
