Composite building, result of several construction campaigns dating from the Romanesque period (origin of its construction), from the Gothic period (vaulting and construction), until the 19th century (restoration and enlargement). From the 12th century, the church has preserved its façade, the nave, the bay under the bell tower with its dome on pendentives and its supports of columns with capitals. The south arm preserves from the Gothic period traces of a vaulting of the 14th century. Called the chapel of Saint-Jacques, this transept arm sheltered a crypt which was filled in in 1775. Campaigns of repairs from the 18th to the middle of the 19th century.
