History

Rural church of the 12th century, modified in the 14th. The primitive monument comprised a rectangular choir with flat chevet, a nave of two square bays, a small portal on the south facade decorated with an archivolte with large toric moulding resting on disappeared small columns, and a second square archivolte falling back on two engaged half columns with capital and primitive bases, forming door lintel. In the 14th century, the choir and the first bay of the nave were vaulted with rib vaults. A small seigneurial chapel was added to the south and a porch tower was raised on the west facade.
