The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De l'église romane primitive ne subsistent que l'abside ronde et le choeur, ainsi que la partie inférieure de la tour carrée du clocher qui repose sur la croisée du transept. Son couronnement actuel date du milieu du 18e siècle. Les bas-côtés sont formés, au nord et au sud, de quatre chapelles contigües et perpendiculaires à la nef, chacune éclairée par une fenêtre flamboyante. L'édifice a été très restauré de 1850 à 1888. La façade de 1862 précède une nef, couverte d'une voûte de brique en 1850. Le collatéral sud date du 16e siècle ; celui du nord fut ajouté en 1862.

History
From the primitive Romanesque church there remain only the round apse and the choir, as well as the lower part of the square bell tower which rests on the crossing of the transept. Its present crowning dates from the middle of the 18th century. The aisles are formed, on the north and south, of four contiguous chapels perpendicular to the nave, each lit by a Flamboyant window. The building was very extensively restored from 1850 to 1888. The façade of 1862 precedes a nave, covered with a brick vault in 1850. The southern aisle dates from the 16th century; that on the north was added in 1862.
