Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle, composée primitivement d'une nef, d'un choeur et d'une abside. La nef fut remaniée au 19e siècle et reçut alors trois travées de voûtes de brique. Le choeur est formé d'une voûte d'ogives retombant sur des chapiteaux historiés. Il est continué par l'abside semi-circulaire voûtée en cul de four. Deux chapelles furent ajoutées à la travée du choeur au 16e siècle. La porte donnant accès à la chapelle sud est accostée de pilastres soutenant un entablement et un gâble accompagné de pinacles. A la même époque fut percée la porte sud de la nef, accostée de pilastres et surmontée d'une coquille.

History
Church of the 12th century, originally composed of a nave, a choir and an apse. The nave was altered in the 19th century and then received three bays of brick vaults. The choir is formed of a rib vault resting on historiated capitals. It is continued by the semi-circular apse vaulted in an oven vault. Two chapels were added to the bay of the choir in the 16th century. The door giving access to the south chapel is flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature and a gable accompanied by pinnacles. At the same period the south door of the nave was pierced, flanked by pilasters and surmounted by a scallop shell.
