The Ministère de la Culture's notice

De l'église du 12e siècle ne subsistent plus que le transept et l'abside que flanquent deux absidioles. Le reste a été profondément transformé au 16e siècle qui a fait un vaisseau unique de la nef et des bas-côtés primitifs. D'autres modifications intervenues aux 17e, 18e et 19e siècles, ont modifié le caractère et la partie occidentale. Le clocher qui surmonte la croisée du transept (refait en 1631 et remanié en 1843) est animé par de petites tourelles d'angle. A l'intérieur, le transept, l'abside et les absidioles sont à peu près intacts et montrent de beaux chapiteaux ornés de motifs floraux. Dans la nef (16e siècle) , un plafond à voussurers a remplacé le voûtement primitif.

Of the 12th-century church there remain only the transept and the apse which are flanked by two absidioles. The rest was profoundly transformed in the 16th century which made a single vessel of the nave and the primitive aisles. Other modifications occurring in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries altered the character and the western part. The bell tower which surmounts the crossing of the transept (remade in 1631 and altered in 1843) is animated by small corner turrets. In the interior, the transept, the apse and the absidioles are almost intact and show fine capitals ornamented with floral motifs. In the nave (16th century), a ceiling with coffering replaced the primitive vaulting.
