Au 16e siècle, la nef a été voûtée de quatre branches d'ogives moulurées d'un tore entre deux cavets sur corbeaux nus. Le chevet et le clocher sont également du 16e siècle.

History
In its primitive form, the church may date from the 11th or 12th century (nave). It then comprised a rectangular nave whose base of walls has been preserved, in small ashlar with marks of the pick. In the 16th century, the nave was vaulted with four branches of moulded ribs of a torus between two cavets on bare corbels. The chevet and bell tower are also of the 16th century.
