The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifiée au 12e siècle sur un plan de nef unique avec chevet plat, l'église a été pourvue au 15e siècle de chapelles latérales dessinant un faux transept, puis a été remaniée au 18e siècle. Les chapiteaux qui reçoivent les grandes arcades des chapelles latérales sont pittoresques (têtes, atlantes, serpent). Ces chapelles sont voûtées à liernes. Clocher-porche à l'ouest.

Built in the 12th century on a plan of a single nave with a flat chevet, the church was provided in the 15th century with lateral chapels forming a false transept, then was remodelled in the 18th century. The capitals which receive the great arcades of the lateral chapels are picturesque (heads, atlantes, serpent). These chapels are vaulted with liernes. Porch tower to the west.
