Historique
L'église se compose d'une nef unique sans bas-côté ni transept, et d'un choeur à cinq pans semblant d'époque romane. Le reste de l'édifice atteste une construction du 15e siècle. La nef subit d'importantes réfections au 16e siècle : modification des baies, construction d'un portail en 1545 sur la façade occidentale et placage d'une niche Renaissance dans le mur sud de la nef. Le clocher qui occupe l'angle sud-ouest est une construction du 17e siècle. Restes de vitraux du 16e siècle. La nef conserve des peintures murales cachées sous un enduit.

History
The church consists of a single nave without aisles or transept, and a choir with five bays appearing to be of Romanesque date. The rest of the building attests to construction of the 15th century. The nave underwent major alterations in the 16th century: modification of openings, construction of a portal in 1545 on the west façade and application of a Renaissance niche in the south wall of the nave. The bell tower which occupies the south-west corner is a construction of the 17th century. Remains of 16th-century stained glass. The nave retains wall paintings hidden under render.
