History
Dating from the 12th century are the apse vaulted in a cul-de-four, the bay of the choir and the base of the porch tower. The rest is of modern date, the western portal dating from 1846. The apse and choir are vaulted and present capitals adorned with fabulous animals. On the south side opens a moulded portal of the 15th century. The cul-de-four vault is painted with a Christ in majesty, surrounded by the tetromorph.
