L'église fut construite vers 1280 par les Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. Elle fut incendiée en 1901 et il n'en reste que le portail. Le grand arc d'ogive est divisé en deux baies séparées par une forte colonne au chapiteau à larges fleurs romanes. Le tympan s'orne d'une croix de Jérusalem entourée d'une torsade. De chaque côté de la grande ogive se trouvent d'autres colonnes doubles plus petites, supportant d'autres chapiteaux romans doubles.

History
The church was built around 1280 by the Hospitallers of Saint-John of Jerusalem. It was burned down in 1901 and only the portal remains. The great pointed arch is divided into two openings separated by a strong column with a capital with large Romanesque flowers. The tympanum is ornamented with a cross of Jerusalem surrounded by a twisted moulding. On each side of the great pointed arch are other smaller double columns, supporting other double Romanesque capitals.
