Historique
Petit édifice du 12e siècle, à une seule nef avec travée de clocher à coupole sur trompillons. Sanctuaire et choeur voûtés en cul de four. Il semble qu'au sud, pour élargir la nef, le mur latéral ait été reculé, ses baies et contreforts ainsi que ceux sur l'angle du pignon occidental ayant un caractère postérieur à la construction primitive. Chapiteaux historiés.

History
Small building of the 12th century, with a single nave with bell tower bay with dome on squinches. Sanctuary and choir vaulted in a quarter dome. It appears that to the south, to widen the nave, the lateral wall was moved back, its openings and buttresses as well as those on the angle of the western gable having a character posterior to the primitive construction. Historiated capitals.
