The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice bâti au 17e siècle sur des bases anciennes, comme en témoigne le chrisme de la porte d'entrée. Le plan est en croix latine, avec chevet plat. L'entrée, au sud, comporte un tympan orné d'un chrisme. L'église est peu percée, en raison de la rigueur du climat. A l'intérieur, étagement de tribunes en bois ; voûtes lambrissées.

History
Edifice built in the 17th century on ancient foundations, as evidenced by the chi-rho of the entrance door. The plan is in Latin cross, with flat chevet. The entrance, to the south, comprises a tympanum ornamented with a chi-rho. The church is little pierced, due to the rigour of the climate. Inside, tiering of wooden galleries; coffered vaults.
