The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Du 12e siècle ne subsiste que la travée du clocher avec une coupole à nervures et, au-dessus, le clocher en partie démoli. Au 14e siècle et postérieurement, l'église a été très remaniée : de cette époque date le chevet percé de trois grands fenestrages.

History
From the 12th century only the bay of the bell tower remains with a rib vault and, above, the bell tower in part demolished. In the 14th century and subsequently, the church was greatly remodelled: from this period dates the chevet pierced with three large window openings.
