History
The choir and the three bays preceding it are from the 12th century. The nave and north aisle date from the 14th century, but have undergone various modifications. The bell tower would belong to the 16th century and the spire to the 17th. The apse was modified in the early 20th century. The Romanesque windows, which had disappeared, have been reconstituted, as have the small columns adorning the interior of the choir. The bay supporting the bell tower has a dome vault on rectangular plan.
