History

Church with a single nave, comprising three bays and one choir bay. Two chapels open onto the central bay of the nave and two onto the choir. The latter, with a flat chevet, is probably the oldest part and dates from the late 13th century. It is still built according to Romanesque conceptions. The three bays of the nave date from the late 15th century. The entrance is on the south side, through a square door framed by moulding. North of this bay, a spiral staircase in a turret gives access to the wooden gallery. In the 16th century, an important chapel was established along the south face of the choir. This chapel is vaulted with rib vault with liernes and tiercerons. Above the entrance portal is a chapel opening onto the gallery, and lit by an ogival opening divided by a mullion. The arcade bell tower with two masonry returns and the pavilion roof forming shelter for the bell-ringer, is one of the best examples in the region. The wooden entrance door is original (late 15th century), preserved with its original nailing and primitive bolt.
