The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édification de l'église Saint-Maurice s'est achevée au terme de plusieurs campagnes de travaux. La nef, d'époque romane, est la partie la plus ancienne encore en place. A la fin du 15ème siècle, un choeur de style gothique a été ajouté. Le clocher-porche a été installé autour de 1547 en avant de la nef. Celle-ci fut réaménagée au 17ème siècle. Le bénitier présent dans le revers gauche du mur occidental porte la date de 1680 et certaines baies murées de la nef remontent probablement à cette période. Au 19ème siècle, un important décor fut mis en place. Depuis la fin du 19ème siècle, le choeur présente des désordres importants qui mettent en péril sa stabilité. Cette partie de l'église est fermée au public depuis les années 1930.

History
The construction of the church of Saint-Maurice was completed after several building campaigns. The nave, of Romanesque period, is the oldest part still in place. At the end of the 15th century, a choir in the Gothic style was added. The porch tower was installed around 1547 in front of the nave. The latter was remodeled in the 17th century. The holy water stoup present in the reverse of the left wall of the western wall bears the date 1680 and some walled-up openings in the nave probably date from this period. In the 19th century, significant decoration was put in place. Since the end of the 19th century, the choir has shown major deterioration which puts its stability at risk. This part of the church has been closed to the public since the 1930s.
