History
In its primitive plan, the church comprises a single nave divided into four unequal bays and ended to the east by a semi-circular apse, all dating to the beginning of the 12th century. The two lateral chapels adjoining the north and south faces of the chevet date to the end of the 15th century. The main façade was rebuilt in the modern period.
