The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle composée d'une partie datant du 16e siècle et d'une annexe ouest datant du 17e. L'ensemble comprend un chevet carré, un transept et une nef doublée, dans la partie du 16e, par deux bas-côtés voûtés. Un jubé ancien, dont il ne reste que la clôture, sépare les deux chapelles. Un pignon au-dessus de cet arc limite extérieurement ces deux chapelles, terminé par un ancien petit clocher ajouré.

Chapel composed of a part dating from the 16th century and a west annexe dating from the 17th century. The whole comprises a square chevet, a transept and a nave doubled, in the 16th-century part, by two barrel-vaulted aisles. An old rood screen, of which only the enclosure remains, separates the two chapels. A gable above this arch limits these two chapels externally, terminated by an old small openwork bell tower.
