The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La façade occidentale est ornée, sur tout l'étage inférieur, de deux baies aveugles aux arcades en plein cintre, encadrées par un portail dont la double voussure est supportée par des pilastres nus. Tout en haut des murs arasés, quelques évidements carrés étaient peut-être des créneaux et des fenêtres de guet. Le clocher qui surplombe cette facade et occupe toute la partie occidentale de l'édifice, est une massive construction cubique en moellons. Le chevet est composé d'une abside en hémicycle. A l'intérieur, un banc de pierre court à la base des murs du choeur et d'une partie de la nef. Le cul de four de l'abside ainsi que ses murs paraissent complètement recouverts d'une couche picturale qui pourrait dater, pour certaines parties, de la fin du 12e ou du 13e siècle. Les autres parties semblent avoir été peintes au 14e ou au 15e siècle. La nef conserve également plusieurs fragments peints.

History
The western facade is decorated, on the entire lower storey, with two blind openings with round-arch arcades, framed by a portal whose double vault is supported by plain pilasters. At the very top of the levelled walls, a few square recesses were perhaps crenellations and watch windows. The bell tower which rises above this facade and occupies the entire western part of the building, is a massive cubic construction in rubble stone. The chevet is composed of a hemicycle apse. Inside, a stone bench runs at the base of the walls of the choir and part of the nave. The apse conch as well as its walls appear completely covered with a layer of paint which could date, for certain parts, from the end of the 12th or the 13th century. The other parts appear to have been painted in the 14th or 15th century. The nave also preserves several painted fragments.
