The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Une église primitive est mentionnée dès 1242. L'église actuelle peut remonter au 17e siècle. La chapelle ne comporte qu'une nef sans décor, dont la dernière travée forme choeur à chevet plat, et est couverte d'une charpente portée par des arcs transversaux. Chaque travée est séparée de la suivante par un arc doubleau surbaissé. Saint-Maurice est un exemple d'architecture romane adaptée par le 17e siècle, probablement rare dans la région.

History
A primitive church is mentioned as early as 1242. The current church may date back to the 17th century. The chapel comprises only a nave without decoration, the last bay of which forms a choir with a flat chevet, and is covered with a roof structure supported by transverse arches. Each bay is separated from the next by a depressed transverse arch. Saint-Maurice is an example of Romanesque architecture adapted by the 17th century, probably rare in the region.
