History
The construction dates back to the end of the 12th century. The north transept arm has disappeared. A straight chevet replaces an apse, the nave has been shortened the great bell tower and a few Romanesque capitals remain. Significant work took place in the 19th century. In 1873, the architect Robin redoes the western vault and the neo-Gothic façade. The building is divided into a choir with a straight chevet two bays long on rib vaults, a bay under a bell tower with a dome on squinches, a south transept under rib vault, a passage called "berrichon" to the north serving as a sacristy, a nave of one bay in 19th-century plaster.
