En plan primitif, l'église se compose d'un vaisseau unique divisé en quatre travées inégales et terminé à l'est par une abside demi-circulaire, le tout remontant au début du 12e siècle. Les deux chapelles latérales accolées aux faces nord et sud du chevet datent de la fin du 15e siècle. La façade principale a été reconstruite à l'époque moderne.

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.
