History
The choir, the south lateral chapel and the portal date from the 11th or early 12th century. The rest was probably rebuilt in the 15th century. Modern porch tower. The west portal presents three concentric rectangular arches on rectangular jambs, framing a tympanum decorated with a chi-rho in flat relief, and framed by a chequerwork moulding.
