The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La façade, abîmée par un portail moderne, a conservé le départ de l'ouverture primitive que surmonte une fenêtre dont la partie supérieure est ancienne. Un cordon orné de petits motifs isolés marque la naissance du pignon. A l'intérieur, l'abside est voûtée en cul de four tandis qu'un berceau en blocage recouvre le choeur. Au-dessus de ce berceau s'élève le clocher. Entre la nef et le choeur, les impostes sont décorées de billettes. Une charpente recouvre la nef.

History
The façade, damaged by a modern portal, has retained the start of the primitive opening which is surmounted by a window whose upper part is old. A cord ornamented with small isolated motifs marks the birth of the gable. Inside, the apse is vaulted in apse form whilst a rubble barrel vault covers the choir. Above this barrel vault rises the bell tower. Between the nave and the choir, the imposts are decorated with billettes. A roof structure covers the nave.
