The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise à plan en croix latine à chevet plat, dont la nef romane comporte deux travées à berceau en doubleau. Le choeur a été revoûté au 16e siècle. La première travée de la nef est surmontée par un clocher du 19e siècle. La deuxième travée de la nef comporte, au nord, l'adjonction d'une chapelle du 17e siècle et, au sud, une chapelle du 19e siècle. Le clocher-mur de 1662 a été transformé en clocher carré. £La porte est du style de reconstruction du 16e siècle. La nef présente un berceau sur doubleau. Seul subsiste le décor Renaissance du choeur. Un ossuaire a été mis à jour sous la chapelle nord, attestant de l'ancienneté du lieu occupé antérieurement au 12e siècle.

Church with a Latin cross plan with a flat chevet, whose Romanesque nave comprises two bays with barrel vaults on ribs. The choir was revaulted in the 16th century. The first bay of the nave is topped by a bell tower of the 19th century. The second bay of the nave has, to the north, the addition of a 17th-century chapel and, to the south, a 19th-century chapel. The wall bell tower of 1662 was transformed into a square bell tower. The east door is in the style of 16th-century reconstruction. The nave has a barrel vault on ribs. Only the Renaissance decoration of the choir remains. An ossuary was uncovered beneath the north chapel, attesting to the antiquity of the place occupied previously to the 12th century.
