The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église fut édifiée entre la fin du 12ème siècle et le début du 13ème, puis agrandie entre le 15ème et le 16ème siècle. Elle présente des élévations simples, caractéristiques des édifices ruraux. Les deux phases de construction sont aisément lisibles aujourd'hui, entre la nef et la tour-clocher romanes, et le transept et le choeur gothiques voûtés d'ogives. Une campagne de sondages, effectuée en 2002, a permis de constater que l'église était couverte de peintures murales datant de la période située entre les 15ème et 16ème siècles. Elles constituent un témoignage significatif de l'essor des peintures murales et du culte des saints à la fin du Moyen-Age.

History
The church was built between the late 12th century and the early 13th century, then enlarged between the 15th and 16th centuries. It presents simple elevations, characteristic of rural buildings. The two phases of construction are readily legible today, between the nave and the bell tower romanesque, and the transept and the choir gothic vaulted with ribs. A campaign of soundings, carried out in 2002, made it possible to ascertain that the church was covered with mural paintings dating from the period situated between the 15th and 16th centuries. They constitute a significant testimony to the flourishing of mural paintings and the cult of saints at the end of the Middle Ages.
