The church of the 12th century was almost completely destroyed during the Hundred Years War. The nave and portal were rebuilt at the end of the 15th century. A modern chapel replaces the south arm of the transept. The upper storey of the bell tower appears to date from the 17th century. The entrance door, sheltered by an awning, belongs to the 15th century. The cul-de-four apse, covered with stone slates, dates from the 12th century.
