Historique
Hormis l'abside qui est romane, le reste de l'édifice semble remonter au 15e siècle. Clefs et retombées d'arcs sculptées. La façade est garnie de mâchicoulis et surmontée d'un campanile percé de cinq arcades superposées ajourant le pignon. Un escalier dans une tourelle polygonale permet d'atteindre le rang de mâchicoulis et le bas du pignon. Restes de peintures murales.

History
Apart from the chevet which is Romanesque, the rest of the building appears to date from the 15th century. Keys and arc springings sculpted. The façade is furnished with machicolations and surmounted by a campanile pierced with five superposed arcades opening onto the gable. A staircase in a polygonal turret allows access to the row of machicolations and the base of the gable. Remains of mural paintings.
