The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Il s'agit d'une ancienne église paroissiale dont l'origine est probablement romane, du 12e ou 13e siècle, mais considérablement remaniée au cours du 18e siècle (appareillage en galets). L'église possède à l'intérieur un décor peint du 18e siècle couvrant le cul de four de l'abside, la voûte du choeur et l'arc triomphal. Ce décor se compose de caissons fantaisistes ornés de motifs végétaux et floraux et de masques.

History
This is a former parish church whose origin is probably Romanesque, from the 12th or 13th century, but considerably reworked during the 18th century (coursing in pebbles). The church possesses in the interior a painted decoration of the 18th century covering the apse conch, the vault of the choir and the triumphal arch. This decoration is composed of whimsical coffering decorated with vegetable and floral motifs and masks.
