The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La partie ouest de l'église, comportant l'autel, correspond à un ancien édifice du 13e siècle dont une partie, du côté Est, a été percée pour permettre l'établissement de la nef de l'édifice du 19e siècle. La partie ancienne est constituée par un choeur carré voûté en berceau longitudinal. La nef en berceau comporte, en partie sud, un élément de narthex avec porche d'entrée comportant un tympan sculpté sur deux panneaux, l'un représentant le Christ en croix, l'autre le baptème du Christ. Au 19e siècle, l'église a été agrandie et réorientée.

History
The western part of the church, comprising the altar, corresponds to an old building of the 13th century, part of which, on the East side, was pierced to allow the establishment of the nave of the 19th century building. The old part consists of a square choir vaulted with a longitudinal barrel vault. The barrel-vaulted nave includes, in part south, an element of narthex with entrance porch comprising a sculptured tympanum on two panels, one representing Christ on the cross, the other the baptism of Christ. In the 19th century, the church was enlarged and reoriented.
