The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église prend son origine au 11e siècle. Elle est restaurée au 12e et agrandie au 17e siècle. En 1780, elle est vendue à des particuliers qui la transforment en habitation. Il subsiste une abside semi-circulaire et une partie du transept. Le bras sud de ce dernier conserve des chapiteaux sculptés (figures, anges, tête de mort). Intérieurement, l'édifice a été divisé en plusieurs étages où sont visibles des chapiteaux sculptés. Dans les combles sont visibles les ogives, des arcs formerets et leur intersection formée d'une clef à écusson.

History
The church originates in the 11th century. It is restored in the 12th and enlarged in the 17th century. In 1780, it is sold to private individuals who transform it into a dwelling. There remains a semi-circular apse and part of the transept. The south arm of the latter preserves sculpted capitals (figures, angels, death's head). Internally, the building has been divided into several storeys where sculpted capitals are visible. In the roof space are visible rib vaults, formerets and their intersection formed by a shield-shaped key.
