Historique
Cette église, dépendant du chapitre cathédral d'Angoulême, n'a conservé de sa nef romane que le mur ouest. Elle a été remontée à la fin du 16e siècle et sa partie orientale élargie pour former transept. L'édifice a reçu un berceau très brisé. Le faux carré, plus étroit, sous le clocher, est couvert d'une coupole sur arc. A l'ouest, les supports sont des colonnes sur pilastres. La façade est percée d'une porte romane à trois rouleaux sur piédroits. Des contreforts du 16e siècle appuient les extrémités de la nef et du transept. Ceux du faux carré, au sud-ouest duquel est placé l'escalier, sont romans. Le clocher rectangulaire est placé au-dessus de la coupole. Le second étage est percé de baies jumelles, séparées par une colonnette.

History
This church, depending on the cathedral chapter of Angoulême, has preserved of its Romanesque nave only the west wall. It was rebuilt in the late 16th century and its eastern part widened to form a transept. The building received a very broken barrel vault. The false square, narrower, under the bell tower, is covered with a dome on arch. To the west, the supports are columns on pilasters. The façade is pierced with a Romanesque door with three rolls on jambs. Buttresses of the 16th century support the ends of the nave and the transept. Those of the false square, to the south-west of which is placed the staircase, are Romanesque. The rectangular bell tower is placed above the dome. The second storey is pierced with paired openings, separated by a colonnette.
