The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De l'église romane primitive ne subsiste pratiquement que le portail à trois voussures légèrement brisées, supportées par quatre colonnes. Le mur situé au-dessus des modillons a été repris au 15e siècle. Son pignon est percé de deux ouvertures ogivales, dont l'une contient la cloche. L'abside romane ayant été détruite, un mur a été bâti au 15e siècle mais il conserve trois chapiteaux romans.

History
Of the primitive Romanesque church, practically only the portal with three slightly pointed arches remains, supported by four columns. The wall situated above the modillions was rebuilt in the 15th century. Its gable is pierced with two pointed openings, one of which contains the bell. The Romanesque apse having been destroyed, a wall was built in the 15th century but it retains three Romanesque capitals.
