The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église est un édifice anciennement fortifié (surélévation sur mâchicoulis à l'abside) , dont certaines parties semblent remonter à la fin du 13e siècle, et d'autres, notamment les voûtes avec liernes et tiercerons, au commencement du 16e. Le clocher et la façade ont fait l'objet de travaux vers 1830. La nef est encadrée de deux chapelles à gauche, et de deux autres à droite, avec escalier pris dans un fort massif.

The church is a building formerly fortified (elevation with machicolations at the chevet), some parts of which appear to date from the end of the 13th century, and others, notably the vaults with liernes and tiercerons, from the beginning of the 16th. The bell tower and façade underwent work around 1830. The nave is framed by two chapels on the left, and two others on the right, with a staircase set within a substantial mass.
