The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise du 12e siècle, se composant d'une nef remaniée au début du 20e siècle ; d'un clocher du 12e siècle dont la partie basse est sur coupole ; d'une abside du 12e siècle voûtée en cul-de-four. Primitivement, cette abside a dû être couverte en dalles de pierre. Sur le côté droit du choeur, attenant aux murs, se trouvent des colonnes du 15e siècle avec départs de nervures indiquant qu'une chapelle a probablement dû exister à cet emplacement mais a été démolie par la suite.

Originally, this apse must have been covered with stone slabs.
