The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise de plan rectangulaire, du 12e siècle, s'ouvrant par un portail plein cintre orné de trois torses retombant sur des colonnes qui peut être daté du 13e siècle. Le choeur se termine par un chevet droit. La nef est couverte d'une voûte récente. Au nord se trouve un clocher carré massif. Le rez-de-chaussée communique avec l'église par un arc gothique, et forme une petite chapelle. Importante restauration, assimilable à une reconstruction, vers 1904.

History
Church of rectangular plan, from the 12th century, opening by a round arch portal decorated with three twisted mouldings resting on columns which can be dated to the 13th century. The choir terminates in a straight chevet. The nave is covered with a recent vault. To the north is found a massive square bell tower. The ground floor communicates with the church by a Gothic arch, and forms a small chapel. Important restoration, comparable to a rebuilding, around 1904.
