The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise réédifiée en 1837, le clocher étant l'unique vestige de l'édifice du 15e siècle. De style gothique flamboyant, il présente cette particularité d'avoir conservé les dispositions générales des clochers du 12e siècle, à savoir une ordonnance d'arcatures d'applique sous l'étage très ajouré correspondant au beffroi. £

History
Church rebuilt in 1837, the bell tower being the sole vestige of the edifice of the 15th century. Of Flamboyant Gothic style, it presents the particularity of having preserved the general arrangements of bell towers of the 12th century, namely an arrangement of applied arcading under the heavily pierced storey corresponding to the belfry.
