The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise probablement bâtie au milieu du 14e siècle. Au cours des guerres de Religion, l'édifice est saccagé vers 1578. C'est à cette époque que la partie supérieure de la grande nef fut détruite, et les trois nefs furent mises sous une seule toiture. Les dispositions primitives de cette nef et les voûtes ont été rétablies en 1869, mais sans l'étage de défense. La flèche actuelle a été rebâtie en 1865, après sa destruction par la foudre.

History
Church probably built in the middle of the 14th century. During the Wars of Religion, the building was sacked around 1578. It was at this time that the upper part of the great nave was destroyed, and the three naves were put under a single roof. The original arrangements of this nave and the vaults were restored in 1869, but without the defence level. The present spire was rebuilt in 1865, after its destruction by lightning.
