The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise romane du 12e siècle, à une nef voûtée en berceau (tiers point) , de trois travées séparées par des doubleaux reposant sur des pilastres cannelés (influence bourguignonne) terminés en biseau au-dessus des piédroits séparant les arcatures de chaque travée. Le choeur se termine par une abside en cul-de-four, percée de trois ouvertures ornées chacune à l'intérieur de deux colonnettes. Le linteau du portail occidental a été remplacé au 18e siècle par un arc surbaissé. Au-dessus du portail, campanile pour deux cloches. Ce petit monument, dont les pilastres cannelés dénotent l'influence bourguignonne, a appartenu aux chevaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem.

History
Romanesque church of the 12th century, with a single nave with a barrel vault (pointed arch), of three bays separated by doubled arches resting on fluted pilasters (Burgundian influence) terminated in bevels above the jambs separating the arcades of each bay. The choir terminates in an apse with a cul-de-four vault, pierced by three openings each ornamented inside with two small columns. The lintel of the western portal was replaced in the 18th century by a depressed arch. Above the portal, a campanile for two bells. This small monument, whose fluted pilasters denote Burgundian influence, belonged to the Knights of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem.
