The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut bâtie d'un seul jet et comportait, à l'origine, une travée de plus. En partie ruinée par les guerres de Religion, elle fut reconstruite au 16e siècle en réutilisant ses anciens matériaux. La partie entre le chevet et le clocher est le seul vestige de l'édifice d'origine. Quelques remaniements furent réalisés au 19e siècle.

History
The church was built in one single operation and originally comprised one more bay. Partly ruined by the Wars of Religion, it was rebuilt in the 16th century reusing its old materials. The section between the chevet and the bell tower is the only vestige of the original building. Some modifications were made in the 19th century.
