History

The church comprises a single nave of four bays vaulted with rib vault; a square bay under the bell tower covered with a rib vault with tiercerons; a straight bay of choir vaulted with ogives; an apse in hemicycle surmounted by a cul-de-four with five sections. The apse is decorated with a continuous arcading in which are inscribed three windows separated by two blind arcades. Windows and arcatures feature small columns, decorated with capitals with acanthus leaves or fantastic animals. The window pierced to the south is an addition of the 15th century, as indicated by its flamboyant tracery. The square bay situated between the choir and the nave, on which rests the bell tower, is bounded by arcades with double mouldings. The vault dates from the 15th century. The walls of the single nave appear to belong to a building campaign earlier than that of the apse. Inside, the vessel was completely refitted in the 15th century. In the blind arcatures of the apse are two figures in high relief representing an Annunciation life-size with, on the left, the angel Gabriel and, on the right, the Virgin. This work could date to the 13th century.
