Historique
Accolée à un château à demi ruiné, l'église est un sanctuaire rural de plan cruciforme avec deux chapelles surajoutées, chevet plat ayant conservé ses voûtes en pierre d'origine, datant du 13e siècle. La nef a été remaniée au 19e siècle. Elle était probablement simplement voûtée en charpente ou voûtée en pierre selon les habitudes locales.

History
Adjoining a half-ruined castle, the church is a rural sanctuary of cruciform plan with two added-on chapels, flat chevet having preserved its original stone vaults, dating from the 13th century. The nave was altered in the 19th century. It was probably simply vaulted in timber structure or vaulted in stone according to local practices.
