Historique
Eglise construite dans la première moitié du 16e siècle, puis rehaussée en 1752. Elle est formée d'une nef précédée d'un narthex et accolée de deux chapelles formant faux transept. La porte du 16e siècle est formée d'un arc surbaissé, accolé de pilastres lisses qui supportent le linteau, au-dessus duquel se détache du mur un fronton triangulaire. L'église est ornée de peintures murales dans l'abside et les chapelles latérales, datant des 16e et 17e siècles. Dans le choeur, les peintures remontent au 19e siècle. De larges fenêtres d'un gothique flamboyant éclairent l'édifice et conservent des vitraux.

History
Church built in the first half of the 16th century, then raised in 1752. It is formed of a nave preceded by a narthex and flanked by two chapels forming a false transept. The 16th-century door is formed by a depressed arch, flanked by smooth pilasters which support the lintel, above which rises from the wall a triangular pediment. The church is ornamented with wall paintings in the apse and the lateral chapels, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. In the choir, the paintings go back to the 19th century. Large windows of flamboyant Gothic style light the building and retain stained glass.
