History
Rural sanctuary with a single nave, transept and polygonal apse, built at the end of the Romanesque period. The vaulting and archivolts are round arch. The capitals of the porch are of Gothic origin. Two lateral chapels came to flank the choir bay in the 15th century. The western façade is pierced by a round arch portal, very deep, with seven orders of archivolts. The rectangular gable is pierced by a bell opening with three arcades. A small bell turret of modern period, covered in zinc and of Baroque silhouette, surmounts the choir.
