The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise démolie en 1909. La façade a été remontée dans les bâtiments de l'actuelle maison de retraite (ancien hospice municipal). A l'origine, l'édifice était voûté d'ogives dont il ne reste plus qu'un arc doubleau. La plupart des parements ont été dénaturés dans le courant du 19e siècle. Il ne subsiste, comme parties intactes de l'ancienne construction, que la porte principale ouest et le parement extérieur de la façade.

History
Church demolished in 1909. The façade was reassembled in the buildings of the present retirement home (former municipal hospice). Originally, the building was vaulted with ribs of which there remains only a rib. Most of the surfaces were disfigured during the course of the 19th century. There survives, as intact parts of the old construction, only the main western door and the exterior surface of the façade.
