The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église appartenait à un petit monastère construit non loin de là. La guerre de Cent ans puis les guerres de Religion, provoquèrent l'abandon du monastère et de ses églises. La paix revenue, celles-ci furent rendues au culte sous les auspices des chanoines réguliers de la couronne jusqu'à la Révolution. Le culte fut rétabli en 1806. L'édifice se compose d'une nef unique avec choeur en hémicycle plus étroit, voûté en cul de four. Chapelle nord édifiée à la fin du 15e siècle. La nef est couverte par une voûte en plâtre sur briques pleines, datant du 19e siècle. La chaplle nord a probablement été édifiée pour accueillir une mise au tombeau du 16e siècle en pierre peinte. Des peintures murales recouvrent l'ensemble du choeur.

History
This church belonged to a small monastery built not far away. The Hundred Years War and then the Wars of Religion, caused the abandonment of the monastery and its churches. With peace restored, these were returned to worship under the auspices of the regular canons of the crown until the Revolution. Worship was restored in 1806. The building is composed of a single nave with a narrower hemicycle choir, vaulted in a half-dome. North chapel built at the end of the 15th century. The nave is covered by a plaster vault on solid brick, dating from the 19th century. The north chapel was probably built to house a painted stone entombment of the 16th century. Wall paintings cover the entire choir.
