The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise de caractère régional, butée par deux gros contreforts de date assez récente qui bouchent deux petites fenêtres de la crypte. Cette crypte serait une partie de la chapelle de l'ancien château fort, situé autrefois sur le rocher, et dont il ne subsiste rien. Ce château appartenait à l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, et existait encore au 14e siècle. La crypte est composée d'une première travée voûtée en berceau et d'une abside pentagonale en cul-de-four. Au milieu se trouve un gros pilier cantonné de quatre colonnes soutenant quatre doubleaux.

History
Church of regional character, buttressed by two large buttresses of fairly recent date which block two small windows of the crypt. This crypt would be part of the chapel of the former stronghold, once situated on the rock, of which nothing remains. This castle belonged to the order of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, and still existed in the 14th century. The crypt is composed of a first bay with barrel vault and a pentagonal apse with cul-de-four vault. In the middle is found a large pillar flanked by four columns supporting four doubleaux.
