The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise presque totalement reconstruite au 19e siècle, vers 1840, ses trois nefs étant séparées par des colonnes doriques. De l'église romane, seule l'abside a survécu. A la fin du 15e siècle y a été ajoutée une chapelle. Une sacristie lui est adossée à l'époque moderne. L'abside est demi circulaire à l'intérieur et pentagonale à l'extérieur. Des six colonnettes qui l'ornaient à l'intérieur, il n'en reste que quatre. Quatre des colonnettes qui décoraient les cinq fenêtres ou arcatures extérieures sont conservées.

Church almost entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, towards 1840, its three naves being separated by Doric columns. Of the Romanesque church, only the apse has survived. At the end of the 15th century a chapel was added to it. A sacristy was added to it in the modern period. The apse is semi-circular on the interior and pentagonal on the exterior. Of the six small columns which adorned it on the interior, only four remain. Four of the small columns which decorated the five windows or exterior arcatures are preserved.
