The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise bâtie à la fin du 15e siècle, comme l'indique le portail flamboyant nord, aux tores évidés, qui y donne accès. Elle fait partie de l'enceinte du château et servit peut-être de chapelle castrale tout en étant église paroissiale. L'édifice comporte une nef unique à chevet plat. L'intérieur a été refait en 1776. Lambris en bois doré sur fonds blancs ; tableaux ; encadrements de fenêtres se style roccoco, assez rare dans le sud-ouest. La date de 1879 est celle de la dorure et de la peinture laquée.

History
Church built at the end of the 15th century, as indicated by the flamboyant north portal with hollowed mouldings which gives access to it. It forms part of the castle enclosure and perhaps served as a castle chapel while also being a parish church. The building comprises a single nave with a flat chevet. The interior was refurbished in 1776. Gilded wood panelling on white grounds; paintings; window frames in Rococo style, quite rare in the south-west. The date of 1879 is that of the gilding and lacquered painting.
