Historique
Eglise composée d'une nef, d'un transept dont l'absidiole nord a fait place à une chapelle, et d'un choeur terminé par une abside semi circulaire. Le transept a sa croisée limitée par quatre arcades en plein cintre. Primitivement couverte d'une coupole sur trompes, elle est voûtée sur ogives et liernes. Le croisillon méridional a conservé son absidiole semi circulaire voûtée en cul de four. Le croisillon nord a été remanié au 16e isècle. A la place de son absidiole fut élevée une chapelle seigneuriale à chevet plat. Un clocher refait au 16e isècle domine le carré du transept. L'édifice a été restauré en 1886.

History
Church composed of a nave, a transept whose north absidiole gave way to a chapel, and a choir ended by a semicircular apse. The transept has its crossing limited by four round arches. Originally covered with a dome on squinches, it is vaulted with ribs and liernes. The south transept arm has retained its semicircular absidiole vaulted with a cul-de-four. The north transept arm was modified in the 16th century. In place of its absidiole was raised a seigneurial chapel with a flat chevet. A bell tower remade in the 16th century dominates the crossing of the transept. The building was restored in 1886.
