The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église devait se terminer par une abside et probablement deux absidioles prises dans l'épaisseur du mur droit. Dans l'état actuel, un choeur voûté en cul de four termine l'église et correspond aux trois nefs. Sa construction peut remonter au 16e ou au 17e siècle. La destruction de l'abside primitive peut être due à un glissement de terrain ou aux guerres. Sur ce qui était le choeur s'élève un clocher carré dont le premier étage a été ensuite surélevé, peut-être au 14e siècle, et est couvert d'une coupole en tuf. A l'intérieur, d'imposants piliers circulaires supportent la retombée du doubleau. Les bas-côtés sont couverts par des berceaux transversaux perpendiculaires à celui de la nef.

History
The church was to terminate in an apse and probably two absidioles taken in the thickness of the right wall. In its present state, a choir vaulted with a cul-de-four terminates the church and corresponds to the three naves. Its construction may date back to the 16th or 17th century. The destruction of the primitive apse may be due to a landslide or to wars. What was the choir is surmounted by a square bell tower whose first storey was subsequently raised, perhaps in the 14th century, and is covered with a tufa dome. Inside, imposing circular pillars support the springing of the arch. The aisles are covered by transverse barrel vaults perpendicular to that of the nave.
