History
Church which belonged to the abbey of Cormery according to a papal bull of 1180. The nave, destroyed by fire in 1876, was rebuilt. Following the modern nave, the transept has its crossing vaulted with a dome on squinches. The transept arms are each accompanied by an absidiole vaulted in apse vault. The semi-circular apse vaulted in apse vault terminates the church. The bell tower dominates the crossing of the transept and was partly rebuilt in the 15th century.
