History
Romanesque church of the 12th century. The two arms of the transept are barrel-vaulted. The central part supporting an octagonal bell tower is vaulted in a dome. The apses are vaulted in a half-dome, as is the apse. The nave dates from the 14th century. The romanesque façade was rebuilt in the same style at the end of the 19th century. Lateral passages put the nave and apse in communication with the transept, a rare arrangement in the department. In the 15th century, a chapel was attached on the north.
