History
This church displays all the characteristics of the churches of this region of Savès: use of flat brick, porch tower aligned with the western façade, chevet with three gables, staircase of the gallery at the south-west angle of the building. The porch tower is braced by powerful buttresses, and topped with pinnacles in the form of bulbs. Five openings are occupied by the bells. At the foot of the bell tower, the porch is sheltered by an awning. Inside, on the south wall of the first bay, opens a square chapel decorated with paintings serving as a frame for a disappeared altar.
