The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
D'importantes parties des murs goutterots de la nef de l'église qui n'a pas de bas-côtés, sont antérieures au 12e siècle, époque de construction de l'édifice actuel. La tour du clocher, de plan carré, est située au-dessus du choeur et a été construite en même temps que l'abside semi-circulaire. Des chapiteaux romans sculptés, remployés, ont été placés de chaque côté de la porte d'entrée.

History
Important parts of the gutter walls of the nave of the church, which has no aisles, are earlier than the 12th century, the period of construction of the current building. The bell tower, of square plan, is situated above the choir and was built at the same time as the semicircular apse. Carved Romanesque capitals, reused, have been placed on each side of the entrance door.
