History
The western façade is preceded by a timber porch of the 16th century. The bell tower of the 12th century features a square tower pierced with a round-arched opening on each face at belfry height, and terminated by a timber spire. The nave, originally single, had an aisle added to it in the 16th century, between the bell tower and a seigniorial chapel.
