History

13th-century church composed of a nave vaulted with an ogival barrel vault whose external cornice bears Romanesque corbels. The north portal, with three rows of colonettes, dates to the 14th century. The north and south chapels may date from the 15th century. The porch added to the south, between the nave and the chapel, is more recent. The top of the bell tower was rebuilt in the 16th century, as indicated by the year 1548 engraved on a stone. The bell tower openings are geminate. Inside, traces of paintings under whitewash. On a wall of the north chapel, are depicted a lord, his wife and his two daughters kneeling before the Virgin mounted on a donkey, carrying the Child in her arms. Saint John the Baptist, placed behind the lord, holds the paschal lamb.
