History
Church of an old priory, the Gothic building was constructed on the site of a Romanesque building of which some remains subsist, in particular two columns with their bases in the nave, on the south façade. It comprises a barrel-vaulted nave extended to the east by two bays vaulted on rib crosses, the last bay forming a choir with a flat chevet. Four chapels. The entrance portal, situated to the west under the porch tower, is in pointed arch. Fortified bell-tower.
