The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église a subi aux 19e et 20e siècles, agrandissements et restaurations. Elle conserve toutefois une nef du 12e ou 13e siècle portant des traces de décors peints (croix de consécration, rosaces, bâtons rompus...). L'arc diaphragme qui sépare la nef du choeur, repose sur deux colonnes engagées surmontées de chapiteaux naïvement sculptés dans l'esprit roman. Le chapiteau nord est à crochets imitant les feuilles d'acanthes. Le chapiteau sud montre Adam et Eve commettant le pêché originel.

History
This church underwent enlargements and restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It nevertheless preserves a nave of the 12th or 13th century bearing traces of painted decoration (consecration crosses, rosettes, broken staffs...). The diaphragm arch which separates the nave from the choir rests on two engaged columns surmounted by naively sculptured capitals in the Romanesque spirit. The north capital has hooks imitating acanthus leaves. The south capital shows Adam and Eve committing original sin.
