The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La façade ouest a été surélevée au 12e siècle. La porte en plein cintre garde sa décoration primitve de palmettes et de fleurs-hélices. La nef est couverte en charpente avec lambris. Des départs d'ogives témoignent d'un projet de voûtes resté inexécuté au 13e siècle. Le choeur et l'abside à sept pans, construits au 13e siècle, sont voûtés sur ogives et liernes, en style angevin. Aux clés figurent un évêque bénissant et la Vierge.

The west façade was heightened in the 12th century. The round arch door retains its primitive decoration of palmettes and spiral flowers. The nave is covered in roof structure with panelling. Springing ribs testify to a vault project left unexecuted in the 13th century. The choir and seven-sided apse, built in the 13th century, are rib and tiercerons vaulted, in Angevin style. In the keys appear a blessing bishop and the Virgin.
