The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église date du 14e siècle et est de type languedocien avec choeur voûté et nef unique à charpente apparente portée par doubleaux, mais a été remaniée. Le clocher présente deux étages octogones couronnés chacun d'un gâble percé d'une lucarne. Une pyramide triangulaire, surmontée d'une boule, forme l'amortissement des quatre triangles de transition entre le carré et l'octogone. Sur la face, trois arcs de décharge superposés soulagent la profonde voussure du portail. Celui-ci date entièrement du 14e siècle. Il se compose de voussures supportées par autant de colonnettes portant chapiteaux à deux rangs de feuillages.

History
The church dates from the 14th century and is of Languedoc type with vaulted choir and single nave with exposed roof structure carried by transverse arches, but has been altered. The bell tower presents two octagonal storeys each crowned by a gable pierced by a dormer. A triangular pyramid, surmounted by a ball, forms the termination of the four triangles of transition between the square and the octagon. On the face, three superposed relieving arches ease the deep voussure of the portal. This dates entirely from the 14th century. It is composed of voussures supported by as many columnettes bearing capitals with two rows of foliage.
