The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Par son architecture extérieure, l'édifice évoque le gothique et la Renaissance avec son chevet à pans coupés et contreforts à larmiers, le grand clocher quadrangulaire qui servait de donjon (présence de meurtrières) et le portail en anse de panier à mouluration gothique. L'église contient un décor très typique de cette région influencée par l'Espagne.

History
By its external architecture, the building evokes Gothic and Renaissance with its chevet with cut angles and buttresses with string courses, the large quadrangular bell tower which served as a keep (presence of machicolations) and the portal with basket arch moulding in Gothic style. The church contains decoration very typical of this region influenced by Spain.
