The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise du 13e siècle qui se composait d'une nef à quatre travées et d'un choeur. Au 16e siècle, construction d'un bas-côté sud, dont seulement deux travées furent construites. Le choeur et la travée qui le précède reçurent des voûtes dont les caractéristiques se rattachent à l'architecture angevine du 13e siècle. Les voûtes des deux travées précédentes datent de la fin du 15e ou du début du 16e siècle. La partie du 16e siècle comporte des chapiteaux Renaissance avec feuillages et personnages. Au-dessus de la première travée se dresse un clocher en charpente dont l'accès se fait par une tourelle du 16e siècle, à pans en briques et pierres.

Church of the 13th century which consisted of a nave with four bays and a choir. In the 16th century, construction of a south aisle, of which only two bays were built. The choir and the bay preceding it received rib vaults whose characteristics relate to 13th-century Angevin architecture. The vaults of the two preceding bays date from the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century. The 16th-century section features Renaissance capitals with foliage and figures. Above the first bay stands a bell tower in timber framing whose access is by a 16th-century turret, with timber framing in brick and stone.
