The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Au 12e siècle, l'église se composait d'un choeur carré avec abside circulaire, d'un transept avec, de chaque côté de ce choeur, une absidiole, et d'une nef. Une tour surmontait la croisée de transept. A différentes époques, ont été ajoutées latéralement à la nef des chapelles. La tour du clocher a pu être octogonale à sa partie haute, qui a été remaniée. Dans son état actuel, l'édifice a conservé son choeur, son transept et ses absidioles, les voûtes et les piliers intérieurs de la nef, quelques traces des anciennes fenêtres de la nef, ainsi que le portail sud qui doit remonter aux premières années du 13e siècle. L'aspect de ces parties anciennes diffère un peu des exemples connus dans la région, particulièrement la partie haute du transept.

In the 12th century, the church was composed of a square choir with circular apse, a transept with, on each side of this choir, an apsidiole, and a nave. A tower surmounted the crossing of the transept. At different periods, chapels were added laterally to the nave. The bell tower could have been octagonal in its upper part, which has been reworked. In its present state, the building has retained its choir, its transept and its apsidoles, the vaults and the interior pillars of the nave, some traces of the old windows of the nave, as well as the south portal which must date from the first years of the 13th century. The appearance of these old parts differs somewhat from known examples in the region, particularly the upper part of the transept.
