The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église, qui était comprise dans l'enceinte du château détruit par Louis XIII, remonte au 13e siècle. Elle se compose d'une nef de quatre travées qui se termine par une abside à trois pans ; le collatéral nord par une absidiole semi circulaire ; le collatéral sud par une abside trapézoïdale. Un clocher surmonte la travée de la nef voisine de l'abside. L'étage du clocher est percé, sur chacune de ses faces, de deux fenêtres juxtaposées en arc brisé mouluré.

The church, which was comprised within the enclosure of the château destroyed by Louis XIII, dates back to the 13th century. It is composed of a nave of four bays which terminates in an apse of three sides; the north aisle in a semi-circular apsidal chapel; the south aisle in a trapezoidal apse. A bell tower surmounts the bay of the nave adjoining the apse. The storey of the bell tower is pierced, on each of its faces, with two juxtaposed windows in a moulded pointed arch.
