The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut construite sur l'emplacement d'un temple gallo-romain dédié aux divinités sylvestres, temple dont les matériaux furent utilisés dans ses substructions. En 1719, la ruine de l'édifice était presque totale et deux années de travaux furent nécessaires pour le rendre au culte. En 1850, restauration complète de la nef. Décor sculpté sur frises et chapiteaux. La façade, sans arcatures multiples, avec un porche unique sans tympan, soutenu par des colonnettes engagées, est dans les traditions locales de l'école romane poitevine. Le transept est couvert d'une coupole d'importation aquitaine.

History
The church was built on the site of a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to sylvan divinities, a temple whose materials were used in its substructures. In 1719, the ruin of the building was almost total and two years of works were necessary to restore it to worship. In 1850, complete restoration of the nave. Sculptured ornament on friezes and capitals. The façade, without multiple arcading, with a single porch without tympanum, supported by engaged colonnettes, is in the local traditions of the Poitevin romanesque school. The transept is covered with a dome of Aquitanian importation.
