The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 638, une charte de Dagobert stipule le don de cette église à l'abbaye de Saint-Denis. Vers 1107, elle appartient à deux chevaliers du château de Nouâtre qui la donnent à l'abbaye de Noyers. L'édifice primitif est reconstruit au 11e siècle. La nef se termine par un chevet plat, l'abside étant excentrée vers le nord. Une travée du choeur est dominée par une coupole sur pendentifs, retombant sur des colonnes engagées qui supportent elles-mêmes les arcades à double rouleau séparant le choeur de la nef. Au-dessus se trouve la tour octogonale de clocher de type roman poitevin. Une petite tour d'escalier extérieure, ronde, est encastrée dans l'angle de l'abside et de la nef.

In 638, a charter of Dagobert stipulates the gift of this church to the abbey of Saint-Denis. Around 1107, it belongs to two knights of the castle of Nouâtre who give it to the abbey of Noyers. The original building is rebuilt in the 11th century. The nave ends with a flat chevet, the apse being off-centre to the north. One bay of the choir is dominated by a dome on pendentives, falling back on engaged columns which themselves support the arcades of double roll separating the choir from the nave. Above is found the octagonal bell tower of Poitevin Romanesque type. A small external round stair tower is inserted into the angle of the apse and the nave.
