Construction pré-romane à nef unique très courte et chevet plat plus étroit. La nef était probablement charpentée tandis que le choeur a conservé sa voûte en berceau plein-cintre. L'ensemble est construit en moellons irréguliers de calcaire.

History
Pre-Romanesque construction with a very short single nave and flat chevet narrower than the nave. The nave was probably timber-roofed while the choir has retained its barrel vault round arch. The whole is built of irregular limestone rubble stone.
