History

The church is said to have been built in the 12th century by the Templars and is probably all that remains of the old village destroyed by a fire in 1532. It is likely following this disaster that the stone vault of the nave would have collapsed, replaced later by a wooden vault decorated with 16th-century paintings. In the early 17th century, an aisle was added to the north, extended westwards in the course of the 19th century. The 16th-century roof structure is of chevrons forming trusses and covers only the nave. The south wall is pierced by a door which could date from the 17th century. To the west stands the gable bell tower with arcading comprising two groups of twin openings.
