The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'édifice date du début du 12e siècle dans son ensemble, hormis la chapelle sud qui a été construite probablement au 13e siècle. Le choeur a été restauré en 1623. Des restaurations ont été entreprises au 19e siècle. L'église est constituée par une nef terminée par une abside pentagonale selon un plan très répandu à l'époque dans la région. Le clocher a été surélevé, sans doute au 19e siècle. A l'intérieur, l'édifice conserve un bénitier à quatre faces sur lesquelles sont représentées quatre scènes de la vie de la Vierge.

The building dates from the early 12th century as a whole, except for the south chapel which was probably built in the 13th century. The choir was restored in 1623. Restorations were undertaken in the 19th century. The church is constituted by a nave terminated by a pentagonal apse according to a very widespread plan at the time in the region. The bell tower was raised, probably in the 19th century. Inside, the building retains a four-sided font on which are represented four scenes of the life of the Virgin.
