The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Petite église de campagne composée d'une nef unique suivie d'un choeur à chevet plat. L'ensemble est couvert par une charpente apparente. Les quatre premières fermes, dont les entrais sont soulagés par des poteaux intérieurs et des contrefiches, supportent un petit clocher également en charpente. Ces charpentes datent peut-être du 15e siècle.

History
Small country church composed of a single nave followed by a choir with a flat chevet. The whole is covered by exposed roof structure. The first four roof trusses, whose tie-beams are relieved by internal posts and struts, support a small bell tower also of carpentry. These roof structures perhaps date from the 15th century.
