History

From a primitive church dating from the 9th or 10th century, the chevet wall of the choir remains, in small ashlar. The nave, rebuilt in the 12th century, was restored and covered with timber roof and modern panelling. It ends in a square choir, vaulted on rib crossing. In the 16th century, the nave was doubled by an aisle with which it communicates by three pointed arches. The three bays are vaulted with rib crossings whose ornate keystones have been hacked. This aisle ends in a lateral chapel to the choir. The latter is flanked, to the south, by a bell tower whose upper part was remade in the 16th century. The ground floor room is vaulted on a crossing of moulded ribs of a torus resting on ornamental corbels decorated with human figures.
