Historique
Edifice roman des 11e et 12e siècles, composée d'une nef de trois travées flanquées de collatéraux, le tout voûté d'arêtes, avec une abside à chevet plat à laquelle est accolé un clocher quadrangulaire paraissant avoir servi d'ouvrage défensif. Les arcs-doubleaux en plein cintre séparant chaque travée, retombent sur des piles cruciformes avec trois colonnes engagées. Les chapiteaux sont ornés d'une frise double de billettes, les bases sont décorées de feuillages.

History
Romanesque building of the 11th and 12th centuries, composed of a nave of three bays flanked by aisles, all vaulted with groined vaults, with an apse with flat chevet to which is attached a quadrangular bell tower which seems to have served as a defensive structure. The round arch barrel vault arches separating each bay rest on cruciform pillars with three engaged columns. The capitals are adorned with a double frieze of billettes, the bases are decorated with foliage.
