Le clocher, édifié sur quatre arcades en plein cintre, s'élève sur la travée tenant lieu de transept. Son couronnement est du 19e siècle. A l'intérieur, le voûtement du choeur repose sur des culots à personnages. Le portail sud présente des colonnettes et des chapiteaux ; les vantaux sont ornés d'arcs trilobés.

The church is a sanctuary of the 13th century, with a single nave and square choir, around which fortification elements developed during the 15th century, then extensions of the church. The bell tower, built on four round-arch arcades, rises above the bay serving as transept. Its crowning dates from the 19th century. Inside, the vaulting of the choir rests on corbels with figures. The south portal presents small columns and capitals; the doors are decorated with trilobed arches.
