The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église se compose d'une nef de la fin du 15e siècle, avec un collatéral nord du 16e, et se termine par une abside polygonale. Au 16e siècle, une chapelle seigneuriale a été construite et présente une voûte à cinq clés pendantes richement sculptées. Un clocher, qui paraît être de la seconde moitié du 16e siècle, se trouve à l'extrémité occidentale du bas-côté nord.

History
The church comprises a nave of the late 15th century, with a north aisle of the 16th century, and ends with a polygonal apse. In the 16th century, a seigneurial chapel was built and features a vault with five richly sculpted pendant keystones. A bell tower, which appears to be from the second half of the 16th century, is found at the western extremity of the north aisle.
