The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église est un édifice rectangulaire à chevet plat s'ouvrant, sur sa façade occidentale, par un portail roman inscrit au titre des monuments historiques depuis 1926. Elle a subi plusieurs agrandissements depuis le 12ème siècle : un clocher au nord, un collatéral au sud, puis une importante chapelle au 16ème siècle. La chapelle bâtie en 1829 sur le flanc nord du choeur a préservé son décor peint.

The church is a rectangular building with a flat chevet, opening on its west elevation by a Romanesque portal registered as a historic monument since 1926. It has undergone several enlargements since the 12th century: a bell tower to the north, a side aisle to the south, then a significant chapel in the 16th century. The chapel built in 1829 on the north side of the choir has preserved its painted decoration.
