The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise en forme de croix latine, avec abside carrée et crypte sous le sanctuaire. Le prieuré, construit au nord de l'église, entoure de trois côtés une cour rectangulaire qui contenait sans doute un cloître aujourd'hui détruit. Les parties les plus anciennes de l'église et du prieuré remontent à la fin du 11e ou au début du 12e siècle. Des restaurations successives ont été entreprises aux 13e, 14e et 15e siècle.

History
Church in the form of a Latin cross, with square apse and crypt beneath the sanctuary. The priory, built north of the church, surrounds on three sides a rectangular courtyard which doubtless contained a cloister today destroyed. The oldest parts of the church and priory date back to the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century. Successive restorations were undertaken in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.
