History
The Romanesque church preserves important painted decoration from the 14th century, depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The building consists of a single nave ending in a circular apse. On the north flank rises a bell tower crowned by a 16th-century spire. In front of the west façade rises a small wooden lean-to porch from the 16th century, set on a plinth wall, and sheltering a round-arch door with sculpted capitals.
