The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle, avec nef rectangulaire, choeur à abside circulaire de type roman. La porte Est est de type archaïque, avec un linteau de granit protégé par un arc de décharge. Le clocher présente quatre petites baies arrondies, en plein cintre, et prolonge le pignon. Le mur sud comportait plusieurs ouvertures et des portes plein cintre qui laissent supposer la présence de bâtiments conventuels. L'église aurait été un ancien prieuré.

History
Church of the 12th century, with a rectangular nave and choir with circular apse of Romanesque type. The East door is of archaic type, with a granite lintel protected by a relieving arch. The bell tower presents four small rounded openings, round arch, and extends the gable. The south wall had several openings and round-arch doors which suggest the presence of conventional buildings. The church is said to have been an ancient priory.
