History
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.
