The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'essentiel de l'église remonte au 12e siècle. Les deux travées occidentales et la façade ont été édifiées au début du 13e siècle. L'abside romane a été remplacée au 15e siècle par un choeur rectangulaire voûté sur croisées d'ogives prismatiques reposant sur des culots sculptés. A la même époque, construction de gros contreforts en remplacement des contreforts romans. Au 16e ou 17e siècle, remplacement des couvertures plates sur l'extrados des voûtes du choeur et du transept par de hauts combles sur charpentes couvertes en tuiles plates. Au cours du 19e siècle, construction d'une sacristie dans l'axe du choeur.

The essential part of the church dates to the 12th century. The two western bays and the facade were built at the beginning of the 13th century. The Romanesque apse was replaced in the 15th century by a rectangular choir vaulted with prismatic rib vaults resting on sculptured corbels. At the same period, construction of large buttresses to replace the Romanesque buttresses. In the 16th or 17th century, replacement of flat coverings on the extrados of the vaults of the choir and transept by high roof spaces on roof structures covered in flat tiles. During the 19th century, construction of a sacristy in the axis of the choir.
