The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise du 12e siècle à nef unique, subdivisée en trois nefs au 15e siècle et voûtée à cette époque. L'abside à cinq pans est également du 15e. Dans les bas-côtés existent encore les pilastres et demi-colonnes du 12e. Porche du 12e orné, de chaque côté, de deux arcatures plein cintre reposant sur des colonnettes aux chapiteaux sculptés. Entre ces colonnettes se trouvent des hauts reliefs représentant : Daniel et l'ange lui proposant à manger ; deux personnages devant un plat ; un personnage barbu à cheval suivi de deux moutons ; un lion et deux animaux affrontés. La porte, refaite en 1755, remplace une porte du 12e siècle. A l'extérieur du porche, le bandeau représente les signes du zodiaque et les travaux des mois.

Church of the 12th century with a single nave, subdivided into three naves in the 15th century and vaulted at that time. The five-sided apse is also from the 15th century. In the aisles there still exist the pilasters and half-columns from the 12th century. Porch of the 12th century adorned, on each side, with two round-arch arcatures resting on small columns with sculpted capitals. Between these small columns are high reliefs representing: Daniel and an angel offering him food; two figures before a dish; a bearded figure on horseback followed by two sheep; a lion and two confronted animals. The door, remade in 1755, replaces a 12th-century door. On the exterior of the porch, the band represents the signs of the zodiac and the labours of the months.
