The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Petite église romane avec choeur reconstruit au 15e siècle ainsi que les transepts qui sont une adjonction de cette époque. Le clocher semble roman. Il était orné sur chaque face de deux grosses têtes saillantes dont quelques-unes subsistent encore. La porte a sans doute été refaite au 14e siècle. L'archivolte présente des billettes ; le tore du premier rouleau s'orne de deux figures de chouettes en guise de chapiteau. A la croisée du transept, coupole romane à huit pans sur trompes.

History
Small Romanesque church with choir reconstructed in the 15th century as well as the transepts which are an addition of that period. The bell tower appears to be Romanesque. It was decorated on each face with two large projecting heads, some of which still remain. The door was undoubtedly remade in the 14th century. The archivolt presents billettes; the torus of the first roll is decorated with two owl figures serving as a capital. At the crossing of the transept, an eight-sided Romanesque dome on squinches.
