History

The 16th-century church is preceded, to the south, by a partial cloister (on two sides) whose round-arch portal giving onto the street is dated 1562. The bell tower is the only part of the church built in ashlar. The plan presents a single nave terminated by a seven-sided chevet. Two chapels, perhaps added later, project to the north and south, near the choir. The nave is covered with a wooden barrel vault on rib vaults whose arcs are adorned with hanging keystones. In 1694, a fire destroyed the building. Its reconstruction was done immediately. The bell tower roof structure was laid in 1695. The wall woodwork and furnishings date from the 18th century. The gallery, supported on four columns in false marble decorated with gilded Corinthian capitals, occupies the far end of the nave, to the west.
