The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette église a dû servir autrefois d'église paroissiale. Les seuls restes du 12e siècle sont le clocher et les deux colonnes voisines du clocher, en pierre de tuffeau. Suite à une cause inconnue, peut-être un incendie, le reste de l'édifice, nef et pignon d'entrée, a dû être reconstruit au début du 13e siècle. L'abside rectangulaire date du 17e siècle.

History
This church must formerly have served as a parish church. The only remains from the 12th century are the bell tower and the two columns neighbouring the bell tower, in tuffeau stone. Following an unknown cause, perhaps a fire, the rest of the building, nave and entrance gable, must have been rebuilt in the early 13th century. The rectangular apse dates from the 17th century.
