Historique
Edifice élevé sur le plan de la croix latine, avec nef, transept et choeur. Le mur nord de la nef est le vestige d'une église du 11e siècle donnée à l'abbaye de Beaumont. Le mur sud fut remplacé au 16e siècle par trois arcades qui devaient relier la nef à un collatéral resté à l'état de projet. La façade ouest fut refaite au 12e siècle, avec une porte cintrée à deux rouleaux, sans tympan. Le carré du transept date également du 12e siècle, limité par quatre arcades cintrées, et sousjacent à un clocher dont il ne reste plus que le soubassement. Le croisillon nord est constitué par une chapelle du 15e siècle, voûtée d'ogives prismatiques. Le croisillon sud a été construit au 16e siècle. Le choeur rectangulaire est angevin.

History
Building erected on the plan of a Latin cross, with nave, transept and choir. The north wall of the nave is a remnant of an 11th century church given to the abbey of Beaumont. The south wall was replaced in the 16th century by three arcades which were intended to connect the nave to an aisle that remained as a project. The west facade was remade in the 12th century, with a round-arched door with two rolls, without tympanum. The square of the transept also dates from the 12th century, bounded by four round arches, and underlying a bell tower of which only the base remains. The north transept is constituted by a 15th century chapel, vaulted with prismatic ribs. The south transept was built in the 16th century. The rectangular choir is Angevin.
