The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Chapelle du 11e siècle comprenant une nef à laquelle fait suite un sanctuaire un peu plus étroit, voûté en berceau, et terminé par une abside en hémicycle voûtée en cul de four. La nef a été surélevée au 12e siècle, ainsi que l'indique la trace des anciens corbeaux. Elle est couverte par un plafond en batière qui paraît dater de la surélévation des murs latéraux. La façade ouest est surmontée d'un petit pignon portant la cloche.

History
Chapel of the 11th century comprising a nave to which succeeds a sanctuary somewhat narrower, with barrel vault, and terminated by a hemicycle apse with cove vault. The nave was raised in the 12th century, as indicated by the trace of the old corbels. It is covered by a catslide roof which appears to date from the raising of the side walls. The west façade is surmounted by a small gable bearing the bell.
