The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La nef fut agrandie à une époque indéterminée, vers 1500, et les murs latéraux reportés à l'alignement des pignons du transept. Le chevet du 12e siècle se compose de trois absides. La corniche a été supprimée lors d'une surélévation et il ne reste que des amorces des corbelets qui portaient la tablette. L'absidiole sud porte un bas-relief représentant un animal attelé à une charrue. Le clocher est resté inachevé. Son rez-de-chaussée servait de porche. Au-dessus, la construction passe à l'octogone. Les deux derniers étages sont ajourés d'une baie sur chaque face. Tourelle d'escalier.

The nave was enlarged at an indeterminate time, around 1500, and the side walls moved to the alignment of the transept gables. The 12th-century chevet consists of three apses. The cornice was removed during a raising and only the starts of the corbels that carried the abacus remain. The south small apse bears a bas-relief representing an animal harnessed to a plough. The bell tower remained unfinished. Its ground floor served as a porch. Above, the construction changes to octagonal. The two top floors are pierced by one opening on each face. Stair turret.
