History
Romanesque church of the 12th century, remodelled in the 19th, composed of a nave vaulted with a barrel vault with flanks to which have been attached, on the left, a square tower which forms the bell tower; on the right, another chapel. The crypt, which appears to date from the 7th, 8th or 9th century, is placed under the altar. Eight columns remain, supporting the vault. Four of the supports do not appear to predate the 11th century while the others are older.
