The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'édifice du 12e siècle conserve son porche, son clocher et son abside voûtée. Seule la nef a perdu ses dispositions primitives de couverture. Autrefois voûtée en berceau, elle est actuellement couverte d'un plafond. Les doubles colonnes du portail ont été brisées aux 16e et 17e siècles. Le clocher, placé au-dessus du choeur, a son étage supérieur surmonté d'une coupole octogonale sur trompillons.

The 12th-century building preserves its porch, its bell tower and its vaulted apse. Only the nave has lost its original roof arrangements. Formerly vaulted with a barrel vault, it is currently covered with a ceiling. The double columns of the doorway were broken in the 16th and 17th centuries. The bell tower, placed above the choir, has its upper storey surmounted by an octagonal dome on squinches.
