The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édifice ne comportait primitivement qu'une nef de trois travées couverte par un berceau recoupé par deux doubleaux rectangulaires, d'un choeur peu profond et d'une abside à cinq pans. L'ensemble a probablement été construit dans la seconde moitié du 12e siècle. Au 19e siècle, la nef a été agrandie par l'adjonction de chapelles au nord et au sud. Un clocher barlong a remplacé celui du 12e siècle et les toitures ont été modifiées. Les nervures de l'abside, toriques, sont caractéristiques, renforçant et recoupant la voûte du cul de four. Ces nervures concentriques devaient faciliter la construction de la voûte par sections dont elles masquaient les raccords.

History
The edifice originally comprised only a nave of three bays covered by a barrel vault cut by two rectangular doubleaux, a little deep choir and an apse with five sides. The ensemble was probably built in the second half of the 12th century. In the 19th century, the nave was enlarged by the addition of chapels to the north and south. A barlong bell tower replaced that of the 12th century and the roofings were modified. The ribs of the apse, toric, are characteristic, reinforcing and cutting through the cul-de-four vault. These concentric ribs must have facilitated the construction of the vault by sections of which they concealed the joins.
