The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 14e siècle composé d'une nef de quatre travées et d'un choeur polygonal. A la troisième travée correspondent deux chapelles symétriques rectangulaires formant transept. A la quatrième travée, précédant le sanctuaire, correspond un second transept, mais les chapelles ainsi formées, également symétriques, sont polygonales. A l'extérieur, une tourelle accolée au transept carré nord donne accès au comble. Le clocher, bâti sur la première travée, est moderne, ainsi que la sacristie. Un vitrail du 14e siècle orne la première fenêtre nord de la nef. En bas de l'escalier, porte en bois du 14e siècle également, à arcatures.

Building of the 14th century composed of a nave of four bays and a polygonal choir. At the third bay correspond two symmetrical rectangular chapels forming a transept. At the fourth bay, preceding the sanctuary, corresponds a second transept, but the chapels thus formed, also symmetrical, are polygonal. On the exterior, a turret adjoined to the north square transept gives access to the roof space. The bell tower, built on the first bay, is modern, as is the sacristy. A 14th-century stained-glass window adorns the first north opening of the nave. At the foot of the staircase, a wooden door of the 14th century also, with arcading.
