History

Late southern Gothic edifice of the 15th or early 16th century. The vaults of the nave were partly remade in 1612. On the south-west corner stand the remains of the 15th-century bell tower. These consist of two levels of rib vaults half-collapsed, established between two buttresses. A spiral staircase in a polygonal cage allowed access to the bell tower. The door leaves are of the 17th century. Some alterations were carried out in the 19th century. The edifice has a single nave and polygonal chevet. The nave is bordered by two lateral chapels to the south and one to the north. The choir is narrower and lower than the nave. Its vault consists of eight vault compartments borne by eight radiating ribs. It was lit by three 15th-century stained-glass windows. At the end of the 15th or in the 16th century, a porch with rib vault interpenetrating on their supports was established before the north door. The vault, collapsed, is only discerned by the outspring of its diagonal arcs.
