History
The Romanesque nave is accompanied, to the north, by a 17th-century aisle. It is continued by a 12th-century bay under the bell tower, covered with a vault of the 15th century. The choir with flat chevet dates from the 15th century and is covered with a modern barrel vault. To the north of the choir is found the seigneurial chapel of the late 15th or early 16th century. The bell tower is a large square Romanesque tower whose eastern face was rebuilt in the 15th century.
