The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La nef est du 12e siècle. Le choeur et le chevet à pans coupés sont du 15e siècle. L'auvent est peut-être du 16e siècle. L'édifice a subi des restaurations aux 19e et 20e siècles (en 1924). Le choeur et l'abside sont couverts par des voûtes d'ogives séparées par un arc doubleau reposant sur des piliers demi octogonaux. Les arcs diagonaux retombent sur des culots ornés de figurines. Le parement extérieur des façades de l'abside a été reconstruit en briques apparentes. Le clocher, entièrement en bois, prend naissance sur le sol de la nef. Seize piliers supportent une grande plateforme sur laquelle reposent le corps du clocher et une flèche octogonale. Au nord, une petite tourelle carrée renferme l'horloge.

History
The nave is of the 12th century. The choir and the chevet with cut corners are of the 15th century. The porch is perhaps of the 16th century. The building underwent restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries (in 1924). The choir and the apse are covered by rib vaults separated by a transverse arch resting on half-octagonal piers. The diagonal arches rest on corbels decorated with figurines. The external facing of the apse façades has been rebuilt in exposed brick. The bell tower, entirely of wood, rises from the floor of the nave. Sixteen piers support a large platform on which rest the body of the bell tower and an octagonal spire. To the north, a small square turret houses the clock.
