The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice partiellement préroman, remanié au 18e siècle. La porte principale s'ouvre au nord depuis cette période, sous un arc surbaissé. Clocher-mur à arcade unique. Le mur sud est percé d'une porte sous arc plein cintre, surmontée d'un chrisme très archaïque. Les deux contreforts de petit appareil et la majeure partie du mur sont sans doute préromans. A l'intérieur, la nef est plafonnée, mais l'édifice primitif devait être voûté. L'édifice accueillait un pélerinage à Saint-Roch, en souvenir de la délivrance de la peste.

History
Building partially pre-Romanesque, remodelled in the 18th century. The main door has opened to the north since this period, under a depressed arch. Clocher-mur with single arcade. The south wall is pierced by a door under a round arch, surmounted by a very archaic chi-rho. The two small ashlar buttresses and the greater part of the wall are doubtless pre-Romanesque. Inside, the nave is coffered, but the primitive building should have been vaulted. The building housed a pilgrimage to Saint Roch, in memory of deliverance from the plague.
