History
The church consists of a nave covered in exposed roof structure, a bay following it supporting the bell tower and interposed between the nave and the two bays of the chevet which constitute the choir and the sanctuary. All this part dates from the middle of the 12th century. On each side of the choir are found two seigneurial chapels from the end of the 15th century.
