History
The church dates from the 13th century. It is composed of a single nave of which the gable of the façade, to the west, is pierced with a lowered round-arched door and two twin openings in pointed arch. The chevet is higher than the nave and ends with a flat chevet. At the crossing rises a wooden bell tower. A lateral chapel is attached to the south of the chevet.
