History
Romanesque church enlarged in the 16th century. The nave was covered with two bays of Angevin rib vaults. The choir is followed by a semicircular apse in cul-de-four. Two chapels flank the choir bay. To the south of the first bay of the nave rises the bell tower, a tower of four storeys, the belfry storey being open on each face with twin openings with round arches.
