La façade ouest est percée par un portail de type limousin du 13e siècle, à trois voussures et chapiteaux ornés de crochets. Un arc mouluré qui retombe sur des culots sculptés de masques souligne l'extrados de la voussure intérieure. Le chevet plat était autrefois percé d'une longue et étroite baie.

History
The present building seems to have been constructed at the beginning of the 13th century. It presents a rectangular plan with single nave preceded by a porch, opened subsequently by two rectangular chapels to the north and south. The west façade is pierced by a portal of Limousin type of the 13th century, with three voussures and capitals ornamented with crockets. A moulded arch which falls onto corbels carved with masks underlines the extrados of the inner voussure. The chevet was formerly pierced by a long and narrow opening.
