The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise romane voûtée en berceau brisé, terminée par une abside carrée dont le mur pignon est percé de deux oculi. Les chapelles latérales ont été successivement ajoutées au cours du 15e siècle. Le clocher, qui a dû remplacer un simple campanile, porte à sa partie supérieure la date de 1790. Il repose sur la voûte de la travée basse de la nef, renforcée par un arc à son aplomb et dont la construction doit être contemporaine de la sienne.

History
Romanesque church barrel-vaulted in broken barrel vault, ended by a square apse whose gable wall is pierced with two oculi. The lateral chapels were successively added during the course of the 15th century. The bell tower, which must have replaced a simple bell-cote, bears at its upper part the date of 1790. It rests on the vault of the low bay of the nave, reinforced by an arch at its plumb and whose construction must be contemporary with its own.
