The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise à trois nefs, avec un choeur suivi d'une abside pentagonale, et flanqué de deux absidioles en hémicycle. A l'abside, le cul-de-four est divisé en compartiments de nombre égal à celui des côtés. Les absidioles sont également voûtées en cul-de-four. Divers éléments d'ornementation permettraient de dater l'église de 1150. L'édifice est dominé à l'ouest par un clocher-peigne crénelé, en briques, de style néo-classique, vraisemblablement contemporain du décor du début du 19e siècle des parties hautes des parements intérieurs.

History
Church with three naves, with a choir followed by a pentagonal apse, and flanked by two hemicircular apses. At the apse, the half-dome is divided into compartments equal in number to the sides. The apses are also vaulted with half-domes. Various ornamental elements would allow the church to be dated to 1150. The building is dominated to the west by a crenellated comb tower, in bricks, of neo-classical style, probably contemporary with the decoration of the early 19th century of the upper parts of the interior wall facings.
