Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle agrandie et transformée au 15e. L'église primitive romane se compose d'une abside à chevet plat voûtée en berceau et d'une nef qui vraisemblablement devait être voûtée de même, à laquelle on accède par un petit portail surmonté de deux rouleaux plein cintre. Le clocher est constitué par un pignon percé de trois arcades s'élevant sur l'arc doubleau de l'abside. Au 15e siècle, la voûte de la nef a été remplacée par des voûtes sur croisées d'ogives. Deux chapelles sur la façade nord et une chapelle sur la façade sud, ont été ajoutées à cette époque, ainsi qu'un petit porche précédant le portail. L'abside a conservé son ancienne couvertures en lauzes.

History
Church of the 12th century enlarged and transformed in the 15th. The primitive Romanesque church consists of an apse with a flat chevet covered with a barrel vault and a nave which presumably was to be vaulted in the same manner, reached by a small portal surmounted by two round arch rolls. The bell tower is constituted by a gable pierced by three arcades rising above the transverse arch of the apse. In the 15th century, the vault of the nave was replaced by rib vaults. Two chapels on the north façade and one chapel on the south façade were added at this time, as well as a small porch preceding the portal. The apse has retained its former covering in stone slates.
