History

Nave of four bays, dated to the 11th century, with modern barrel vaults. Transept, apse and small apses from the early 13th century. Projecting transept whose crossing is covered by an octagonal dome on squinches, mounted on a drum whose vertical and lateral faces are pierced by round-arch windows. On the north arm, opens a hemicircular small apse. The south arm and its small apse were reworked in the 19th century. The façade door opens onto a fore-structure covered by a glacis above a line of corbels with masks. On the lateral faces and the apse remain modillions with shavings or cartouches. The square bell tower is pierced on each face (except to the east, reworked) by three round-arch openings separated by paired columns. The church was enlarged in 1894, the western façade was entirely remade, the top of the bell tower retouched.
