History
The building comprises a simple nave, a transept, a choir with a round apse and two round small apses on the arms of the transept. Bell tower on the crossing of the transept, established on a dome. The entirety of the building dates from the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century. It must have undergone several alterations, in particular in the 15th century with the refection and raising of the west gable. The north façade of the nave and the wooden vaults are also from the 15th century. From the 12th century there remain the crypt, the west and south walls of the nave, the transept, the choir, the apse and the small apses. The entrance portal must be the primitive portal of the 12th century.
