The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise du 11e siècle qui se composait d'une nef unique, moins large que la nef actuelle. L'édifice a été agrandi en 1611-1612. Détruite en partie par un incendie en 1851, elle fut complètement restaurée, à l'exception de la façade ouest et d'une partie du mur nord. Sur la façade ouest, la présence d'anciens corbeaux laisse supposer la disparition d'un porche couvert en appentis qui devait dater du moment où l'église fut agrandie.

History
Church of the 11th century which consisted of a single nave, narrower than the present nave. The building was enlarged in 1611-1612. Partially destroyed by a fire in 1851, it was completely restored, with the exception of the west facade and part of the north wall. On the west facade, the presence of old corbels suggests the disappearance of a covered porch roof sloping outward which must have dated from the time when the church was enlarged.
