Historique
Eglise vraisemblablement construite au 13e siècle sur une crypte plus ancienne, puis modifiée aux 15e, 17e et 19e. Choeur du 13e siècle, voûté à la fin de la période gothique (15e siècle). Nef de quatre travées (refaite au 17e siècle) flanquées de chapelles latérales. Clocher-porche dont le portail porte la date de 1689, et évoque la première Renaissance. La crypte a été agrandie au 19e siècle. A la même époque, la nef a été couverte en fausses voûtes gothiques. En 1831, adjonction de la sacristie contre le flanc sud. Des vestiges de peinture murale apparaissent sous l'enduit du choeur et des chapelles latérales, datant probablement du 17e siècle.

History
Church probably built in the 13th century on an older crypt, then modified in the 15th, 17th and 19th centuries. Choir of the 13th century, vaulted at the end of the Gothic period (15th century). Nave of four bays (remade in the 17th century) flanked by lateral chapels. Porch tower whose portal bears the date of 1689, and evokes the first Renaissance. The crypt was enlarged in the 19th century. At the same period, the nave was covered with false Gothic vaults. In 1831, addition of the sacristy against the south flank. Vestiges of mural painting appear beneath the render of the choir and the lateral chapels, probably dating from the 17th century.
