The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édifice, dont les plus anciennes parties remontent aux 12e et 13e siècles, semble avoir été remanié à la fin du 15e à la suite d'une destruction violente, et a subi depuis quelques modifications. L'église se compose d'une nef couverte en charpente avec berceau. Le choeur, plus étroit, est formé de deux travées voûtées sur croisées d'ogives, reposant sur des piliers engagés plus anciens. Au nord du choeur, chapelle du 15e siècle. Au sud de la nef, se trouve un clocher dont la base voûtée forme chapelle.

History
The building, whose oldest parts date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, appears to have been remodelled at the end of the 15th century following violent destruction, and has undergone some modifications since. The church comprises a nave covered with barrel roof structure. The choir, narrower, is formed of two bays vaulted on rib vault crossings, resting on engaged pillars of earlier date. To the north of the choir, chapel of the 15th century. To the south of the nave, is found a bell tower whose barrel-vaulted base forms a chapel.
