The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Remaniée après avoir été ruinée, l'église a conservé la base de son clocher du 14e siècle. Cette base a permis d'établir, vers la fin du 17e siècle, une nouvelle tour ajourée de trois étages octogonaux, surmontée d'une flèche en briques, dans la tradition de l'école toulousaine.

History
Remodelled after being ruined, the church has retained the base of its bell tower from the 14th century. This base allowed for the establishment, towards the end of the 17th century, of a new tower pierced with three octagonal storeys, surmounted by a spire of bricks, in the tradition of the Toulouse school.
