The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 12e siècle, composé d'une nef sans bas-côtés, voûtée en berceau avec arcs doubleaux en ogive dont deux ont disparu, ainsi que les colonnes sur lesquelles ils reposaient. Le chevet est carré et paraît avoir été allongé au 14e siècle, en même temps qu'étaient ajoutées à la travée du clocher deux chapelles latérales voûtées en arêtes. La toiture repose directement sur la voûte. Le pignon occidental est percé d'une petite porte secondaire qui donnait peut-être accès dans le prieuré.

Building of the 12th century, composed of a nave without aisles, vaulted with a barrel vault with ogival ribs two of which have disappeared, as have the columns on which they rested. The chevet is square and appears to have been lengthened in the 14th century, at the same time as two lateral chapels vaulted with groins were added to the bell tower bay. The roof rests directly on the vault. The western gable is pierced by a small secondary door which may have given access into the priory.
