The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Avant les reconstructions, l'église se composait d'une nef simple de trois travées, d'un transept portant un clocher sur sa croisée et d'un choeur de trois travées avec bas-côtés et absides circulaires. La tour centrale n'existe plus et a été remplacée par un clocher en bois, lui-même remplacé par un clocher en pierre précédant le pignon de la nef. La nef a été remaniée, ainsi que le choeur et le transept.

History
Before the reconstructions, the church was composed of a simple nave of three bays, a transept bearing a bell tower on its crossing and a choir of three bays with aisles and circular apses. The central tower no longer exists and was replaced by a wooden bell tower, itself replaced by a stone bell tower preceding the gable of the nave. The nave was modified, as well as the choir and the transept.
