Some parts go back to the 12th century (cornice with modillions, arcatures containing the first two bays of the choir, some foliate capitals). In the 13th century, the nave was divided into two bays with aisles and the bell tower was established on the last bay adjacent to the choir. Rib vaulting. In the 16th century, the choir is extended by one bay with a flat chevet. On the exterior, a pointed-arch portal with toric archivolts on small columns.
