L'église est précédée d'un clocher-porche en pierre de taille, avec trois ouvertures en arc brisé. Le premier niveau est voûté d'arêtes. Trois faces sont percées d'arcades campanaires géminées avec arcs en plein-cintre reposant sur des tailloirs et un pilastre central. Contre la façade ouest s'appuie la chapelle sud-ouest en pierre de taille, étayée par un contrefort . A côté, s'élève la sacristie plus basse que la chapelle. Chevet plat sans pignon. A partir de bases anciennes, l'édifice a été très remanié (clocher fait au 19e siècle).

History
The church is preceded by a porch tower in dressed stone, with three openings in pointed arch. The first level is vaulted with groin vault. Three faces are pierced by twin campanile arcades with round arches resting on tailloirs and a central pilaster. Against the west façade leans the south-west chapel in dressed stone, buttressed by a buttress. Beside it rises the sacristy lower than the chapel. Flat chevet without gable. Starting from old foundations, the building was extensively remodelled (bell tower made in the 19th century).
