The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église était autrefois la chapelle du château. Sa construction remonte au 15e siècle (sanctuaire à trois pans). Plusieurs campagnes se sont certainement succédé pour ajouter au sanctuaire une nef décalée par un élargissement unilatéral (16e), des chapelles méridionales (16e) encore gothiques et un clocher-porche (18e) dont la porte aux moulurations archaïques pourrait être un remploi. Du côté nord, les chapelles sont plus récentes (19e). Tandis que les voûtes du sanctuaire et des chapelles méridionales sont conservées dans leur état primitif, celles de la nef ont été refaites au 19e siècle. Chapiteaux sculptés du côté de l'arc triomphal (personnages, monstres, écusson).

History
This church was formerly the chapel of the castle. Its construction dates back to the 15th century (sanctuary with three sides). Several campaigns certainly succeeded one another to add to the sanctuary a nave offset by a unilateral widening (16th), southern chapels (16th) still Gothic and a porch tower (18th) whose door with archaic mouldings could be a reused element. On the north side, the chapels are more recent (19th). Whilst the vaults of the sanctuary and southern chapels are preserved in their original state, those of the nave were redone in the 19th century. Sculptured capitals on the side of the triumphal arch (figures, monsters, escutcheon).
