The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice roman de la fin du 11e début 12e siècle, comprenant une nef de quatre travées voûtée en berceau, terminée par une abside semi circulaire. De gros piliers rectangulaires couronnés d'un imposte séparent la nef de ses bas-côtés voûtés en quart de cercle, selon le mode auvergnat. La nef a dû être voûtés postérieurement, comme l'indique l'arc triomphal en tiers-point. Sur le choeur s'élève un clocher carré ajouré d'une baie jumelée sur chacune de ses faces.

Romanesque edifice of the late 11th early 12th century, comprising a nave of four bays vaulted with a barrel vault, terminated by a semi-circular apse. Large rectangular pillars crowned with an impost separate the nave from its aisles vaulted in quarter circle, according to the Auvergnat mode. The nave must have been vaulted subsequently, as indicated by the pointed arch triumphal arch. Above the choir rises a square bell tower pierced by a twin opening on each of its faces.
