The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise formée d'une nef de deux travées, d'un transept que surmonte le clocher, et d'un choeur en forme d'abside semi-circulaire. La voûte de la nef est fortement affaissée, accident devant remonter à l'époque de la construction. Il y a été remédié en établissant des sortes de cintres permanent en charpente qui servent aussi de tirants, fixés extérieurement par d'énormes clés en bois. L'abside est voûtée en cul-de-four et possède, sur son pourtour, un décor de cinq arcatures dont les colonnettes présentent des chapiteaux aux corbeilles sculptées de feuillages.

History
Church formed of a nave of two bays, a transept surmounted by a bell tower, and a choir in the form of a semi-circular apse. The vault of the nave is severely sagging, an accident that must date back to the time of construction. This was remedied by establishing a sort of permanent centres in timber framing which also serve as ties, fixed externally by enormous wooden keys. The apse is vaulted with a cul-de-four and possesses, around its perimeter, a decoration of five arcatures whose small columns present capitals with baskets sculpted with foliage.
