The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le clocher semble être tout ce qui reste de l'ancienne église. Il se compose du mur de fond du choeur et de quatre contreforts supportant un clocher en charpente construit en encorbellement. Sur le mur se voit un arc du 13e siècle, ainsi que les colonnettes supportant le départ des voûtes.

History
The bell tower appears to be all that remains of the old church. It consists of the back wall of the choir and four buttresses supporting a bell tower in timber framing built as a cantilever. On the wall is seen an arch from the 13th century, as well as the small columns supporting the springing of the vaults.
