Nave and choir form a rectangular plan, one following the other. A small chapel is placed on the left of the last bay at the far end of the church. On the right is found the bell tower of the 15th century, with its spire of the 16th century, entirely built in dressed stone. The edifice has its present floor raised above the primitive floor. The entrance door and the first two bays date from the 13th century. The last two bays are of the 15th century.
