The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut édifiée au 18e siècle et profondément remaniée en 1880. Elle devient église paroissiale au 19e siècle, lorsque l'église Saint-Michel-Archange apparut trop petite et éloignée pour répondre aux besoins de la population. L'église présente une façade antérieure scandée de pilastres plats et couronnée d'un fronton triangulaire. Le chevet est à pans coupés. La nef est séparée du choeur par une balustrade de marbre et est couverte d'une voûte peinte. Le clocher est percé de baies et couronné d'un petit dôme à ailerons.

History
The church was built in the 18th century and profoundly refashioned in 1880. It becomes a parish church in the 19th century, when the Church of Saint-Michael-Archange proved too small and distant to meet the needs of the population. The church presents a front façade articulated by flat pilasters and crowned by a triangular pediment. The chevet has cut-off corners. The nave is separated from the chancel by a marble balustrade and is covered with a painted vault. The bell tower is pierced by openings and crowned by a small dome with winglets.
