Building of the early 13th century, composed of a single nave terminated by a flat chevet. The bell tower is built at the north corner of the façade. The three bays are vaulted with pointed ribs with toroidal profile resting on four small columns. The transverse arches and the wall ribs rest on pilasters, a rather rare arrangement. Capitals with foliage.
