Historique
Ne subsiste de l'église romane primitive que le transept sur lequel s'ouvrent deux absidioles en hémicycle encadrant une abside de même plan précédée d'une travée de choeur. Des berceaux couvrent le choeur et les croisillons. La croisée est couverte d'une coupole sur trompes. Le clocher, du 14e siècle, présente un étage octogonal, relié à une base carrée par des glacis d'angle. Il est percé sur chaque face de deux hautes baies en tiers point, encadrées par des colonnettes.

History
Of the primitive Romanesque church there remains only the transept onto which open two absidioles in hemicycle framing an apse of the same plan preceded by a bay of choir. Barrel vaults cover the choir and the transepts. The crossing is covered by a dome on squinches. The bell tower, of the 14th century, presents an octagonal storey, linked to a square base by corner slopes. It is pierced on each face by two tall openings in pointed arch, framed by colonettes.
