The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Petit édifice roman dont la structure remonte au 12e siècle. Il se compose d'une nef comportant deux travées rectangulaires inégales. La grande travée paraît avoir été voûtée primitivement en berceau, mais la voûte a été démolie et remplacée par un simple plafond. A cette nef fait suite un transept dont la croisée est surmontée d'un clocher carré. Une abside polygonale fait suite au transept. Cette abside, primitivement rectangulaire, a été transformée et agrandie au 15e siècle. Les voûtes de l'abside et celle du transept ont été refaites à cette époque. Sous la croisée du transept existe une crypte dans laquelle subsiste un autel du 12e siècle.

Small Romanesque building whose structure dates from the 12th century. It consists of a nave comprising two unequal rectangular bays. The large bay appears to have been originally vaulted with a barrel vault, but the vault was demolished and replaced by a simple ceiling. To this nave follows a transept whose crossing is surmounted by a square bell tower. A polygonal apse follows the transept. This apse, originally rectangular, was transformed and enlarged in the 15th century. The vaults of the apse and that of the transept were remade at this time. Under the crossing of the transept there is a crypt in which a 12th century altar remains.
