The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La paroisse est placée dès le 12e siècle sous la juridiction de l'abbaye, et comprenait les églises Saint-Etienne et Saint-Georges. Cette dernière a été détruite en 1812. Saint-Etienne est reconstruite à la fin du 15e siècle sur son emplacement primitif. L'église se compose d'un vaisseau unique terminé par une abside à trois pans. Une chapelle latérale a été bâtie au nord. Le clocher domine le vaisseau au nord-ouest, et est ouvert de baies jumelées. L'intérieur du clocher conservait un escalier aujourd'hui disparu. Sous la nef existait une crypte ayant servi de sépulture. En 1728, les murs de la nef et le choeur sont recouverts de boiseries.

History
The parish is placed from the 12th century under the jurisdiction of the abbey, and comprised the churches of Saint Stephen and Saint George. The latter was destroyed in 1812. Saint Stephen is rebuilt at the end of the 15th century on its original site. The church consists of a single nave terminated by an apse with three sides. A side chapel was built to the north. The bell tower dominates the nave to the north-west, and is opened by paired openings. The interior of the bell tower preserved a staircase now disappeared. Beneath the nave existed a crypt which served as a burial place. In 1728, the walls of the nave and the choir are covered with woodwork.
