The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise souvent remaniée, d'origine romane, dont le meilleur vestige est une porte à double plein cintre concentrique, au sud de la nef. Le transept subsiste avec des contreforts romans. Un deuxième lui a été juxtaposé sans doute au 15e siècle. Sur un pilier octogonal du côté nord du choeur, trois vestiges de peinture d'évêque.

History
Church often altered, of Romanesque origin, of which the finest remaining feature is a door with double concentric round arch, to the south of the nave. The transept survives with Romanesque buttresses. A second one was juxtaposed to it no doubt in the 15th century. On an octagonal pillar on the north side of the choir, three remains of bishop paintings.
