History
Construction of a first building between 919 and 925. In the 11th and then 12th century, probable reconstruction with reused materials. Dating from the end of the 17th century are the small bell tower, the rectory and outbuildings. The great north portal is from the 19th century. Single nave with flat chevet. False vault in plaster. The lateral chapel probably dates from the 18th century. The construction is decorated in the local pre-Romanesque tradition.
