Historique
Edifice d'époque romane, composé d'une nef unique avec un petit transept, et terminée par un choeur en hémicycle. A l'avant, un clocher-porche a été ajouté probablement au 18e siècle. Il s'agit d'une tour à base rectangulaire, à trois niveaux délimités par des moulures. Sur le chevet, deux colonnes engagées encadrent les deux fenêtres centrales. Leurs chapiteaux sont ornés de feuillages stylisés. Des modillons, ornés de têtes ou simplement moulurés, décorent la bordure du toit.

History

It is a tower with a rectangular base, with three levels delimited by mouldings. On the chevet, two engaged columns frame the two central windows. Their capitals are decorated with stylised foliage. Modillions, decorated with heads or simply moulded, decorate the border of the roof.
