The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Eglise de la fin du 15e siècle, presque entièrement reconstruite de 1675 à 1710. La tour est datée de 1678. La sacristie et les galeries qui la prolongent ainsi que l'ensemble du décor intérieur datent de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle. L'édifice comprend un clocher-porche, une nef unique flanquée de chapelles latérales et un choeur terminé par une abside à cinq pans. La façade occidentale, construite en 1678, est d'inspiration classique et soutenue par quatre contreforts dont les deux extrêmes sont surmontés de pots à feu. Le second registre supporte tous les ornements (niches portant les Evangélistes ; cul de lampe orné de feuillages ; niche portant un Christ bénissant en fonte...). Le clocher est classique, sur une architecture encore gothique. Pilastres surmontés de chapiteaux corinthiens.

History
Church of the late 15th century, almost entirely rebuilt from 1675 to 1710. The tower is dated to 1678. The sacristy and the galleries which extend it as well as the whole of the interior decoration date from the second half of the 19th century. The building comprises a porch tower, a single nave flanked by lateral chapels and a choir terminated by a chevet with five sides. The western facade, built in 1678, is of classical inspiration and supported by four buttresses of which the two extreme ones are surmounted by fire-pots. The second register supports all the ornaments (niches bearing the Evangelists; corbel decorated with foliage; niche bearing a blessing Christ in cast iron...). The bell tower is classical, on still gothic architecture. Pilasters surmounted by Corinthian capitals.
