The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La partie ouest de la nef et le clocher mur remontent sans doute à l'époque romane. La partie Est de la nef et l'abside semi-circulaire remontent sans doute au 17e siècle. Le plan antérieur a probablement été conservé en supprimant, éventuellement, la voûte et les contreforts. L'avant porche, construit en 1850, est écroulé. La sacristie date de 1772. L'autel en pierre est sans doute l'ancien autel roman retourné, comme l'indiqueraient les motifs décoratifs renversés visibles à la base.

History
The west part of the nave and the wall bell tower date no doubt from the Romanesque period. The east part of the nave and the semi-circular apse date no doubt from the 17th century. The earlier plan was probably retained by removing, possibly, the vault and the buttresses. The entrance porch, built in 1850, has collapsed. The sacristy dates from 1772. The stone altar is no doubt the old Romanesque altar turned over, as would be indicated by the reversed decorative motifs visible at the base.
