The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cure mentionnée avant 1179. L'édifice comporte quatre travées plus une travée de choeur et l'abside. Une grande travée sous le clocher et autre plus petite qui devait précéder l'abside primitive, romanes, sont couvertes en berceau. Allongement de deux travées sous voûtes d'ogives au 15e siècle. L'allongement de l'abside a produit les ogives de la nef. Comme toutes les petites églises de cette région, la nef unique de celle-ci a été dotée postérieurement de deux chapelles latérales. L'ensemble a été construit entre le 15e et le 16e siècle. La chapelle latérale sud présente liernes, tiercerons et arcade classique. La tribune a conservé un ensemble important et assez rare d'attributs d'une confrérie de pénitents (croix, sceptre, dés, couronnes d'épines...). Le fronton de la façade semble avoir été ajouté au 19e siècle.

Rectory mentioned before 1179. The building comprises four bays plus a choir bay and the apse. A large bay beneath the bell tower and another smaller one which was to precede the primitive apse, Romanesque, are covered with a barrel vault. Extension of two bays under rib vaults in the 15th century. The extension of the apse produced the rib vaults of the nave. Like all the small churches of this region, the single nave of this one was provided later with two lateral chapels. The whole was built between the 15th and 16th centuries. The south lateral chapel presents liernes, tiercerons and classical arcade. The gallery has preserved an important and fairly rare ensemble of attributes of a confraternity of penitents (crosses, sceptres, dice, crowns of thorns...). The pediment of the facade appears to have been added in the 19th century.
