The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église, construite au 12e siècle, aurait appartenu à un prieuré relevant de l'abbaye de Bourgueil. La tradition locale prétend que, lors de son passage dans la région, saint Martin aurait transformé à cette place un temple païen en un lieu de culte chrétien. A l'ouest, l'édifice s'ouvre par un porche couvert d'une charpente qui repose sur quatre piliers carrés et qui s'adosse au mur de la nef unique, terminée à l'est par un large fronton plat et surmontée d'un clocher en forme de pomme de pin. Les faces est et ouest de ce clocher sont percées de deux arcades ; les faces nord et sud d'une seule. Elles sont surmontées de petites lucarnes. A l'intérieur, la nef unique est séparée du choeur par un mur percé de deux grandes arcades plein cintre. Le dallage comporte des dalles funéraires du 17e siècle.

History
This church, built in the 12th century, is said to have belonged to a priory dependent on the abbey of Bourgueil. Local tradition claims that, during his passage through the region, Saint Martin transformed a pagan temple into a place of Christian worship at this location. On the west side, the building opens through a porch covered with a roof structure that rests on four square pillars and which is set against the wall of the single nave, terminated to the east by a large flat gable and surmounted by a bell tower in the shape of a pine cone. The east and west faces of this bell tower are pierced by two arcades; the north and south faces by only one. They are surmounted by small dormers. Inside, the single nave is separated from the choir by a wall pierced by two large round arches. The flooring contains funerary slabs from the 17th century.
