Le clocher est éclairé sur chaque face par de petites fenêtres. Un ossuaire encastré dans l'angle forme, avec le clocher, le côté sud de la façade.

Romanesque building reworked, composed of a nave, two Romanesque aisles, a transept with two arms and a choir. Transept and choir were remade in the 17th and 19th centuries. The Romanesque nave communicates with the side aisles by round arch arcades. The cubic capitals are surmounted by a chamfered and sculpted abacus. These capitals may date back to the 11th century. The bell tower is lit on each face by small windows. An ossuary set into the corner forms, with the bell tower, the south side of the facade. The 16th century roof structure comprises wall plates and sculpted tie beams.
