Les piliers de l'arc doubleau ont disparu, ainsi que la voûte, remplacée par un plancher. Une coupole en pierre recouvre le choeur. Une petite abside voûtée en cul de four complète l'édifice. Surélévation des murs à la fin du 11e siècle. Campanile du 16e siècle.

History
This church appears to belong to the primitive romanesque type which served as a model for a number of churches in the department. The nave is composed of two bays. The pillars of the double arch have disappeared, as has the vault, replaced by a floor. A stone dome covers the choir. A small apse vaulted in a half-dome completes the building. Heightening of the walls at the end of the 11th century. Bell tower of the 16th century.
