The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De la construction primitive du 14e siècle ne sont conservés que le choeur composé de deux travées carrées et le clocher accolé en prolongement de la façade postérieure, sur le côté nord. De longues fenêtres géminées éclairent chaque travée. Une fenêtre triple à lancette centrale occupe le fond de la travée formant l'abside carrée. La nef est plus étroite et plus récente.

History
From the primitive construction of the 14th century only the choir composed of two square bays and the bell tower adjoining as an extension of the rear façade, on the north side are preserved. Long twin windows light each bay. A triple window with central lancet occupies the back of the bay forming the square apse. The nave is narrower and more recent.
