History
The church contains stained glass windows from the 16th century. The bell tower was constructed in 1875. The two bays of the choir retained their original arrangements, vaults and ancient capitals. The first bay is partly ancient but the vault has been remade. Two chapels are arranged between the buttresses, on each side of the choir.
