The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église comprend deux parties. La partie ancienne se compose du choeur, de l'abside, des deux transepts, d'une croisée de transept, et de deux absidioles. Cette partie est voûtée en berceau et cul de four. Entre le choeur et l'absidiole nord-est se trouve une petite loge voûtée donnant, par une porte, sur le choeur et, par une deuxième porte, sur le transept nord. Dans le pignon Est, au-dessus du toit du choeur, une arcade géminée a dû servir de clocher. La partie moderne comprend un clocher rapporté en avant de la croisée de transept ajouté au 19e siècle.

History
The church comprises two parts. The old part is composed of the choir, the apse, the two transepts, a transept crossing, and two absidioles. This part is vaulted with barrel vault and cul de four. Between the choir and the north-east absidiole there is a small vaulted loggia giving, by one door, onto the choir and, by a second door, onto the north transept. In the east gable, above the roof of the choir, a paired arcade must have served as a bell tower. The modern part comprises an attached bell tower in front of the transept crossing added in the 19th century.
