The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La nef et le choeur constituent deux entités séparées, l'une antérieure à l'autre. Sur une nef antérieure dont témoignent le mur ouest, première transformation au 12e ou 13e siècle avec ajout d'un choeur à deux travées et d'un clocher-peigne. Au 14e siècle, elle est voûtée et se voit ajouter un portail sud. Puis, adjonction de quatre chapelles : deux à vocation seigneuriale, deux destinées au culte.

History
The nave and choir constitute two separate entities, one earlier than the other. Over an earlier nave of which the west wall testifies, first transformation in the 12th or 13th century with the addition of a choir with two bays and a porch tower. In the 14th century, it is vaulted and sees the addition of a south portal. Then, addition of four chapels: two with seigneurial purpose, two intended for worship.
