The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église se compose d'une nef rectangulaire couverte en charpente, d'une courte travée de choeur voûtée en berceau et d'une abside en cul de four, pouvant remmonter au 11e siècle. Des remaniements ont été réalisés au 15e siècle. Le clocher a dû être ajouté au 12e siècle, en même temps que la reprise des murs de l'abside. Le haut du clocher date sans doute du 14e ou du 15e siècle. Le dernier étage présente un léger encorbellement. A l'intérieur, choeur et abside sont couverts de peintures du 12e siècle.

History
The church comprises a rectangular nave covered by roof structure, a short choir bay vaulted with barrel vault and an apse in the form of a cul-de-four, which can go back to the 11th century. Alterations were carried out in the 15th century. The bell tower must have been added in the 12th century, at the same time as the repairs to the walls of the apse. The upper part of the bell tower dates probably from the 14th or 15th century. The last storey presents a slight corbelling. Inside, the choir and apse are covered with paintings of the 12th century.
