The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La première mention de l'église date de 1227, mais celle-ci semble antérieure. En 1584, l'église aurait été endommagée par les Protestants. Elle se compose d'une nef de trois travées, voûtée en berceau légèrement brisé. L'abside semi-circulaire et à cinq pans à l'extérieur, est couverte en cul de four et ornée d'arcades en plein cintre retombant sur des colonnettes. Les chapiteaux sont sculptés de feuilles. Un portail à plusieurs voussures en arc brisé, à tore d'acanthe ou personnages stylisés, s'ouvre au sud.

History
The first mention of the church dates from 1227, but it appears to be earlier. In 1584, the church is said to have been damaged by Protestants. It comprises a nave of three bays, vaulted with a slightly pointed barrel vault. The semi-circular apse with five sides on the exterior, is covered with a half-dome and decorated with round arch arcades bearing on small columns. The capitals are carved with leaves. A portal with several voussures in pointed arch, with acanthus moulding or stylised figures, opens to the south.
