The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce modeste édifice d'origine romane, orné côté sud d'un portail gothique et coiffé d'un clocheton moderne, vaut essentiellement par l'ensemble des peintures murales qui a été découvert sur les murs du choeur : un cycle du 14e siècle, assez complet et bien conservé (Dieu en majesté, apôtre) et un cycle du 16e siècle (crucifixion).

History
This modest edifice of Romanesque origin, ornamented on the south side with a Gothic portal and topped with a modern bell turret, is of value essentially because of the ensemble of murals which was discovered on the walls of the choir: a cycle from the 14th century, fairly complete and well preserved (God in majesty, apostle) and a cycle from the 16th century (crucifixion).
