Historique
L'édifice se compose d'une partie principale à trois nefs et de deux transepts réunis par une croisée que surmonte une tour octogone, le tout datant du 12e siècle. Les absides ont disparu et ont été remplacées, au 17e siècle, par un choeur dans le style de l'époque. De ces absides subsiste une crypte supportée par quatre colonnes isolées et six colonnes engagées dont deux ont disparu.

History
The building comprises a main part with three naves and two transepts joined by a crossing surmounted by an octagonal tower, all dating from the 12th century. The apses have disappeared and were replaced in the 17th century by a choir in the style of the period. Of these apses there remains a crypt supported by four isolated columns and six engaged columns, two of which have disappeared.
