The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise à une seule nef, recouverte de voûtes ogivales. L'entrée est sous un porche carré et voûté que surmonte le clocher. Quatre gros piliers en pierre de taille forment la base du clocher qui se continue en octogone avec deux rangs de baies en plein cintre. Le porche se continue latéralement par un préau recouvert d'un appenti que supportent deux colonnes circulaires. Ce préau était autrefois le lieu de réunion où s'exerçait la justice locale.

History
Church with a single nave, covered with rib vaults. The entrance is under a square and vaulted porch which is surmounted by the bell tower. Four large ashlar pillars form the base of the bell tower which continues in octagon with two rows of round-arch openings. The porch continues laterally by a courtyard covered with a lean-to supported by two circular columns. This courtyard was formerly the meeting place where local justice was administered.
