The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édifice se constitue d'une nef de quatre travées à collatéraux, d'un transept à deux chapelles rectangulaires orientées et d'un chevet plat. Un important clocher-porche se situe à l'avant de la façade occidentale. La chronologie de sa construction n'est pas établie. Il semble qu'on puisse dater la tour du 12e siècle et le choeur et le transept de la fin du 13e siècle (au 16e siècle, le percement d'arcades fit communiquer les chapelles des croisillons avec le choeur). La quatrième travée de la nef date du 14e siècle et les trois premières du 15e siècle. Les voûtes ont été refaites en briques vers 1860.

History
The building consists of a nave of four bays with side aisles, a transept with two oriented rectangular chapels and a flat chevet. An important porch tower is located in front of the western facade. The chronology of its construction is not established. It seems that the tower can be dated to the 12th century and the choir and transept to the end of the 13th century (in the 16th century, the opening of arcades allowed the chapels of the transepts to communicate with the choir). The fourth bay of the nave dates from the 14th century and the first three from the 15th century. The vaults were remade in brick around 1860.
