The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 12e siècle, formé de l'ancienne chapelle castrale à laquelle a été réunie l'ancienne salle de justice, modifié aux 15e et 18e siècles. La réunion des deux parties a été réalisée au début du 17e siècle, à partir du percement d'une large arcade en plein cintre dans le mur séparant les parties. La nef aboutit à un choeur trapézoïdal, à chevet plat. Deux absidioles sont accolées à la façade Est, construites sur plan semi-circulaire, voûtées en cul de four et couvertes en lauzes. La façade sud s'ouvre par un portail roman surmonté d'une voussure en plein cintre. Le pignon est percé de trois arcades, chacune contenant une cloche. La charpente a été refaite au 15e siècle, et est constituée de chevrons portant ferme.

Building of the 12th century, formed of the old castle chapel to which was united the old hall of justice, modified in the 15th and 18th centuries. The union of the two parts was carried out in the early 17th century, from the piercing of a wide round arch in the wall separating the parts. The nave leads to a trapezoidal choir, with flat chevet. Two absidioles are attached to the East façade, built on semi-circular plan, vaulted in cul de four and covered in lauzes. The south façade opens by a Romanesque portal surmounted by a round arch voussure. The gable is pierced by three arcades, each containing a bell. The roof structure was remade in the 15th century, and is constituted of rafters bearing rigidly.
