The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De l'édifice du 11e siècle subsistent les deux tiers inférieurs du mur de l'abside semi- circulaire, et celui qui le prolonge au sud vers l'ouest. Au 15e siècle, la partie supérieure du mur absidal et la nef furent reconstruites. La porte principale s'ouvre au nord. En anse de panier, elle est circonscrite par une large gorge où circule une guirlande de feuilles de vignes, et surmontée d'une accolade amortie par un cul de lampe et se détachant devant un tympan transparent. L'ensemble est accosté de deux pilastres avec niches surmontées de dais. Le tympan est circonscrit par une accolade amortie par un fleuron. La nef est couverte en charpente dont les entraits et les poinçons datent du 15e siècle. Au nord, une chapelle a été ajoutée en 1731.

History
Of the building of the 11th century subsist the lower two-thirds of the wall of the semi-circular chevet, and the wall which extends it to the south towards the west. In the 15th century, the upper part of the chevet wall and the nave were rebuilt. The main door opens to the north. In basket-handle form, it is circumscribed by a wide gorge in which runs a garland of vine leaves, and surmounted by an ogee arch finished by a corbel and standing out before a transparent tympanum. The ensemble is flanked by two pilasters with niches topped with canopies. The tympanum is circumscribed by an ogee arch finished by a finial. The nave is covered with roof structure whose ties and king-posts date from the 15th century. To the north, a chapel was added in 1731.
