The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La paroisse est connue dès le 9e siècle. Le sanctuaire est de la fin du 12e siècle, composé à l'origine d'une nef unique et d'un choeur. Le choeur et l'avant-choeur romans subsistent à peu près intacts. La nef a été refaite au 15e siècle, à la suite de l'effondrement de la voûte. Au 16e siècle, ajout des bas-côtés. Le clocher a été refait en 1745. En 1891, réfection en briques de la voûte lambrissée. L'abside, circulaire voûtée en cul-de-four, et le choeur carré sont entourés d'un stylobate. Sept arcatures reposent sur des chapiteaux pour certains sculptés.

History
The parish is known from the 9th century. The sanctuary is from the end of the 12th century, originally composed of a single nave and a choir. The choir and the Romanesque before-choir remain virtually intact. The nave was remade in the 15th century, following the collapse of the vault. In the 16th century, addition of the aisles. The bell tower was remade in 1745. In 1891, reconstruction in bricks of the coffered vault. The apse, circular vaulted in cul-de-four, and the square choir are surrounded by a stylobate. Seven arcatures rest on capitals, some of which are sculpted.
