The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le plan présente une nef rectangulaire suivie d'un choeur étroit à chevet plat. A l'angle nord-est, l'appareil des pierres très allongées, les restes d'une fenêtre à claveaux, les impostes chanfreinées à l'entrée du choeur, indiquent un édifice dont la construction peut remonter au 10e ou au début du 11e siècle. Des modifications ont été apportées au 12e siècle. Au 16e siècle, l'édifice prit son aspect actuel, avec baie à remplage flamboyant, porte à pilastres et frontons Renaissance... La nef fut couverte d'un lambris à entraits et poinçons apparents et sculptés qui a conservé sa décoration peinte d'arabesques. Des traces de peintures murales du 14e siècle subsistent.

History
The plan presents a rectangular nave followed by a narrow choir with flat chevet. At the north-east angle, the coursing of very elongated stones, the remains of a window with voussoirs, the chamfered imposts at the entrance to the choir, indicate a building whose construction may date from the 10th or beginning of the 11th century. Modifications were made in the 12th century. In the 16th century, the building took its present appearance, with opening with flamboyant tracery, door with pilasters and Renaissance pediments... The nave was covered with a ceiling with visible and carved tie-beams and collar-ties which preserved its painted decoration of arabesques. Traces of 14th century wall paintings remain.
