The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise rurale de type populaire, typique de ce secteur de l'ancien diocèse d'Auch. L'emban est un simple hangar monté sur poteaux de bois et protégé par un mur du côté nord. Clocher-mur triangulaire à trois baies. Il est étayé extérieurement par deux contreforts encadrant la porte de l'église, et deux contreforts d'angle plantés de biais, laissant supposer que l'édifice a été précédé d'une église plus ancienne, peut-être voûtée. A l'intérieur, décor peint naïf et vitraux du 19e siècle.

History
Rural church of popular type, typical of this sector of the former diocese of Auch. The emban is a simple shed mounted on wooden posts and protected by a wall on the north side. Triangular bell wall with three openings. It is supported externally by two buttresses flanking the church door, and two corner buttresses planted at an angle, suggesting that the building was preceded by an older church, perhaps vaulted. Inside, naive painted decoration and stained glass of the 19th century.
