The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice d'époque romane, revoûté à l'époque gothique. L'arcature portant la cloche peut dater du 17e siècle. L'église se compose d'une nef rectangulaire et d'un choeur à cinq pans coupés, arrondi sur l'extérieur. Refait à l'époque gothique, l'arc triomphal séparant la nef du choeur est en plein cintre surbaissé, abattu d'un cavet, et retombe en pénétration sur les supports romans. Le choeur à cinq pans est éclairé par trois fenêtres tréflées et couvert d'une voûte d'ogives rayonnantes à partir d'une clef timbrée aux armoiries des Balzac. Un clocher-mur à une baie en plein cintre renferme une cloche de 1657. Il se termine par un pignon surmonté d'une croix en pierre.

Building of Romanesque period, re-vaulted in the Gothic period. The arcature supporting the bell may date from the 17th century. The church is composed of a rectangular nave and a chevet with five angled facets, rounded on the exterior. Remade in the Gothic period, the triumphal arch separating the nave from the chevet is a depressed round arch, abated with a hollow moulding, and meets in interpenetration on the Romanesque supports. The chevet with five angles is lit by three trefoil windows and covered with a vault of radiant ribs springing from a boss charged with the arms of Balzac. A bell-wall with one round arch opening encloses a bell of 1657. It terminates in a gable surmounted by a stone cross.
