The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice roman remontant à la première époque pour la nef, les transepts et ce qui reste du clocher ; de la seconde pour le choeur. Une vaste abside a englobé l'abside et les deux absidioles de l'église primitive, nécessitant le prolongement des bras du transept. Les deux piles orientales du clocher sont restées emboîtées dans cet ensemble qui ne fut pas achevé. Du clocher central ne subsiste que la base carrée.

History
Romanesque building dating back to the first period for the nave, the transepts and what remains of the bell tower; to the second for the choir. A vast apse encompassed the apse and the two small apses of the primitive church, necessitating the prolongation of the arms of the transept. The two eastern piers of the bell tower remained embedded in this ensemble which was not completed. Of the central bell tower only the square base subsists.
