The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le gros oeuvre remonte au 12e siècle. La chapelle de la Vierge, la sacristie et l'avant-porche remontent sans doute au 19e siècle. Nef lambrissée ; choeur voûté en cul de four. L'abside étant moins large que la nef, deux contreforts ont été construits dans le prolongement des murs goutterots. A l'intérieur, un escalier monte à la tribune en bois d'où se fait l'accès aux cloches.

History
The main structure dates from the 12th century. The Lady chapel, the sacristy and the front porch date presumably from the 19th century. Nave with timber panelling; choir vaulted in barrel vault. The apse being narrower than the nave, two buttresses have been built in the extension of the gutter walls. Inside, a staircase leads to the wooden gallery from where access is made to the bells.
