The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice de plan rectangulaire, terminé par un choeur à chevet plat. Ce dernier est la partie la plus ancienne de l'église, remontant sans doute au 11e siècle. La nef est également d'époque romane mais elle a été transformée à la fin du 15e siècle. En 1704, élévation du porche et du beffroi. La division de l'église intervient sans doute lors de la réfection du beffroi entreprise en 1928. Pour cacher la base du beffroi, un mur en briques et plâtre, percé d'un arc triomphal, est élevé entre la 4e et la 5e travée de la nef, fermant le chevet. Le choeur s'est alors trouvé sous le beffroi.

Building of rectangular plan, terminated by a choir with flat chevet. The latter is the oldest part of the church, dating no doubt to the 11th century. The nave is also of Romanesque period but was transformed at the end of the 15th century. In 1704, raising of the porch and the belfry. The division of the church no doubt occurred during the refection of the belfry undertaken in 1928. To hide the base of the belfry, a wall of brick and plaster, pierced by a triumphal arch, was raised between the 4th and 5th bay of the nave, closing the chevet. The choir then found itself beneath the belfry.
