The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église romane n'avait qu'une nef de quatre travées, probablement un transept, et une abside circulaire à l'extérieur et à cinq côtés intérieurement. Elle a subi des remaniements importants, d'abord à la fin du 15e siècle, époque où les voûtes furent refaites sur croisée d'arcs diagonaux et deux petites chapelles intercalées dans les bras du transept. D'autres se firent à l'époque moderne. La voûte de berceau primitive de la nef a dû s'écrouler, et il n'en subsiste que deux doubleaux. Un clocher barlong a été élevé sur une partie de la voûte du choeur. Le portail occidental a été rafraîchi.

The Romanesque church had only a nave of four bays, probably a transept, and a circular apse externally and five-sided internally. It underwent major alterations, first at the end of the 15th century, when the vaults were remade on a crossing of diagonal arches and two small chapels inserted in the arms of the transept. Others were made in the modern period. The primitive barrel vault of the nave must have collapsed, and only two transverse arches remain of it. An oblong bell tower was raised over part of the choir vault. The western portal was refreshed.
