The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église aurait été fondée en 1004. Reconstruit en partie à plusieurs reprises, cet édifice est presque entièrement détruit. De l'église subsiste un grand mur qui limitait la nef à l'est. Relié à la nef par une arcade en tiers point, le choeur sur plan barlong est éclairé au levant par un triplet en arc brisé. Les arrachements de murs du choeur prouvent que celui-ci remplaça une travée détruite. Une tour cylindrique d'escalier occupe l'angle rentrant. Le parement du mur Est de la nef et des collatéraux conserve des traces de peinture du 15e siècle.

History
The church is said to have been founded in 1004. Rebuilt in part on several occasions, this building is almost entirely destroyed. Of the church remains a large wall that limited the nave to the east. Connected to the nave by a pointed arch, the choir on barlong plan is lit to the east by a triplet with broken arch. The remnants of the walls of the choir prove that it replaced a destroyed bay. A cylindrical staircase tower occupies the re-entrant angle. The facing of the East wall of the nave and the side aisles preserves traces of 15th-century painting.
