History

The porch tower is dated either to the 11th century or to the 12th century. The west portal is of the 13th century. A chapel was added to the south of the nave in the 15th century. The upper parts of the choir were rebuilt after a fire that occurred in 1772. The building consists of a nave, a double transept with small apses on a semi-circular plan and a choir composed of a square bay on which opens a semicircular sanctuary. In front of the nave, to the west, is a porch composed of three bays. On the central bay stands a square bell tower four storeys high. The nave, originally covered by exposed roof structure, was subsequently vaulted with ribs and ribs resting on piers, embedded in the old walls of the nave. The transepts and the square bay of the choir are vaulted with barrel vaults of round arch. The apses are covered with a cove vault. The central bay of the porch is closed by a dome on pendentives. Under the porch, the door was remade in the 13th century and features a tympanum sculpted with a bas-relief representing the Adoration of the Magi.
