The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancienne chapelle castrale d'un château détruit en 1401, dont l'abside date du début du 14e siècle. La chapelle seigneuriale forme transept, avec liernes et tiercerons. La nef a été agrandie entre 1550 et 1560. A la suite de l'effondrement des voûtes en 1750, un plafond lambrissé a recouvert la nef. L'abside et le collatéral sud montrent un beau voûtement orné de clefs de voûtes armoriées, de culs-de-lampe ainsi qu'une piscine sous accolade d'époque Renaissance.

History
Former castle chapel of a castle destroyed in 1401, the apse of which dates from the early 14th century. The seigneurial chapel forms a transept, with liernes and tiercels. The nave was enlarged between 1550 and 1560. Following the collapse of the vaults in 1750, a coffered ceiling covered the nave. The apse and the south aisle show fine vaulting ornamented with heraldic vault bosses, corbels as well as a piscina under a scallop arch of the Renaissance period.
