Building composed of a nave of two bays, a square apse on the exterior, with cut angles on the interior, and lateral chapels one of which contains the enfeu of the de Giou family. The church appears to have been rebuilt at the end of the 14th century on the remains of a previous Romanesque church. The comb bell tower would date to the 17th century. The interior presents a rib vault.
